They just CGI’d out the ramp that got the bus’s nose up, and CGI’d out part of the landing zone, to make up a jumped gap that looked more impressive. https://youtube.com/watch?v=NPhNIS69ayQ This was back before you could just CGI generate an entire scene like this… you had to actually do a lot of it for real.
