According to American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=428)
Santos Dumont did not employ any catapult or similar device to place his craft aloft. As far as the world knew, it was the first airplane flight ever and Santos-Dumont became a hero to the world press. The stories about the Wright brothers' flights at Kitty Hawk and later near Dayton, Ohio, were not believed even in the US at the time

Next time, do at least a decent digitalizing job!! The original video from 1906 is not good, but your digitalization is terrible.
