Nice find on the video Geraldine. I can image how much money was spent on these cameras to record all of this for the engineers to watch over-and-over again.

Yes the equipment would have been expensive, but worth it to insure that the launch went off without a hitch, plus we get to view it too! 
The thing that gets me is the sound, it's just what I imagined it would be like, the groans of it's hull as it tumbles, the sound of the last of the propellent being burned up and the splashdown, it all adds to it.
