A neat and uncommon perspective, nice! At 33 seconds there appears to be a blue-purple flash in the rightmost debris mote... I'm guessing a lightning-esque discharge?
Holy shit, it looks so unreal...

[QUOTE=GrandeVinale;33687665]Cherenkov radiation, perhaps? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation[/url][/QUOTE] Unlikely, unless I'm mistaken. This only occurs when radiation moves through a substance in which light is severly slowed.
That lightning was a awesome sight.
Surreal how something so horrible and destructive can be so beautiful. Also, it's cool how you can see how the shock-wave moves on the sand.
