I believe the sky cam missed the very beginning of the event. The entire video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glCJ64QHNyA

Remarks
Trail took 4 1/2 minutes to fully dissipate! I formed a backwards "J" shape in the sky at one point. I have never seen a train that persisted rather brightly for a minute, and take so long to finally dissipate!! Here is the entire video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glCJ64QHNyA
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Bright flash.....split on the same plain and into a second, almost immediate second flash!
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
I believe the first bright flash "may" have been the fragmentation...followed by a bright secondary flash of the fragment immediately afterwards. I wonder if anything might have survived to reach the ground? The entire video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glCJ64QHNyA
