Well, it seems like the OOB foot came off the ground as split-second
before the IB foot did (like maybe 1/30 sec).  Advancing the video
frame-by-frame, one frame shows two feet clearly touching the ground
(one IB, one OOB); the next frame, it's hard to tell if the OOB foot
is off the ground (looking at the shadow) when the IB is still on the
ground; in the next frame, it's hard to tell if the IB foot is still
on the ground (again shadow) when the OOB foot is off the ground; and
in the next frame (three frames after the first), both feet are off
the ground.

Overall, if the observer made his/her call based on one of the two
feet starting OOB from the jump, I think we can't fault the call for
missing that the OOB foot came off a split second before the IB foot
(if that's how you interpret the footage)... I still think it's close
enough to simultaneous to not constructively argue.  However, if the
observer thought the jump was from IB, and didn't consider the
force-out foul... shame on him/her (my view only, of course).
