Still images of the LES/TDS launch indicated that the motor and oxidizer tank created two separate impact splashes ( https://picasaweb.google.com/114657365514543526210/120812LESTDSLaunch#5776068062313353410 ), that can hardly be possible. This footage reveals what happened. After LES impact it breaks up and the oxidizer tanks floats to the surface creating a secondary "splash". The impact itself happens off camera.
