The part right after the strike was cut out, but they didn't appear to even flinch. That was a well done engine failure at rotation, and the Captain or FO did an awesome job of knowing where he was, where he was going, and what had happened in a very brief period. Nice job by the controller as well, obtaining an alternative site with runway info.
