I don't know the specifics of when the Blue Origin capsule's rockets fire, but for the Soyuz capsule it's 70cm above the ground. The time between the rockets firing and impact with the ground is far too fast to see in real time. The dust cloud that gets kicked up is kicked up by the rockets firing, not the capsule slamming into the ground (which is the point the commentators were trying to make).
