thrustHe does say it builds up to 7.6 million pounds of thrust. The video shows it takes about 8 - 9 seconds to clear the tower and takes 26 secs to reach a height of half a mile (approx 750m).
Also, the countdown runs slightly faster than the video time. So, I suspect the video has been slowed down slightly unless the guy doing the countdown is just doing it in his head rather than using a large display which I imagine there is at mission control.
Some things to consider.
