Did they cut the chutes before touchdown? If so, that shouldn't happen, should it?

It was coming down at a fair clip anyway, but I think I saw both happen near-simultaneous (but I could be wrong).

It was like a controlled explosion (of course retro-rockets being fired 1 meter before hitting the ground seems quite jarring)

Appears they landed next to a trail or road. Might help getting the vehicles in close.

I find it amazing how the ground crews are CARRYING so much equipment with them to the landing site: in their hands and even with crates on their backs, from the helicopters a ways away

Terrain appears a bit too rugged for a close-by chopper landing.

Toxic propellent levels.

If there were a radiation danger, I'd be both worried and very surprised. :D
