I don't think I've seen this mentioned here 
yet.  According to the flight timeline and 
ground track map on 

http://www.spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av016/status.html

it seems to me that some of the high launch 
events, especially venting of excess fuel, 
if any, of the Wideband Global SatCom might 
be observable from Africa and maybe southern 
Europe (and possibly Brazil).  The launch 
window is 8:31 to 9:33 p.m. Friday, April 3 
EDT (0:31 to 1:33 Saturday, April 4 UTC).
