For me (at London at the time) it worked fine.
As for the sound barrier, I think he didn't break it, when he started exceeding 1,000 km/h he begun to tumble, and then when he stabilized he had reached a denser atmosphere... but the live speed measurement wasn't accurate, plus the speed of sound is relevant to the atmospheric pressure, so I guess there will be a large debate on that.
I am not sure if he was on free-fall for more than 4 minutes, they hid the timer when he deployed the parachute.
Anyway, I am glad that all this waste of money did not end up in a live broadcast of another person's needless death to advertise an energy drink.
