A classic "lawn dart" where the nose cone deployment does not occur and the rocket comes back to earth ballistic and nose-down into the dirt. The rocket itself had an onboard video system that did not survive the crash, but the video was wirelessly transmitted to a ground station for recording. That's why the announcer says "Say Cheese" to the crowd. Seen at DairyAire.
