The overly-dramatic jump into the pod at about T+1 after the last second was Malagate. Also present: Dame117, Blackt1g3r, and myself.

What you can't see in my video is the reason for the close finish. Blackt1g3r had gotten separated from the rest of us, for reasons I don't remember, and at some point it became apparent that there simply wasn't enough time for him to locate AND traverse the path the rest of us had taken through the caverns. So he and Malagate just started digging, DIRECTLY toward each other. It was a crazy last-ditch maneuver and we were all pretty certain it wouldn't work. Its success, and the timing of said success, couldn't possibly have been more dramatic.

Things like that happen all the time in this game.
