Liftoff was at precisely 20:43:59.237 UTC, four seconds into a 54-minute launch window. With that, Eutelsat 70B was sent on its way, starting a 15-year mission of providing communications services from Geostationary Transfer Orbit.

This marked the 34th Sea Launch Mission since 1999 and the third flight of 2012, all three being successful. The next Sea Launch mission is planned for January 2013 and will deliver the Intelsat 27 Communications Satellite to Orbit.

And they launched 4 seconds late: 20:43:59.237 UTC.  ::)

Somebody explained at NK that 20:43:55 is the engine start time as opposed to liftoff, but that begs the explanation of why the hold down time is twice as long as that on the Atlas V....

No it doesn't. This is a different launcher. You can't compare the operation of Zenit to that of an Atlas V. Apples to Oranges.

It is not engine start time, it is finish time of exact positioning of an inertially stabilized platform of control system of Zenit-2S rocket.
