I wonder if they really mean to say, the EXHAUST from the ICBM is
SUPERSONIC at 60-ft and blows back into the silo at those speeds,
causing damage?

The exhaust is supersonic from the moment of ignition. It would be
a very poor rocket motor if it weren't.

Someone didn't know what they were writing about when that article
was written.
