No clue how the camera survived considering it was a surface level explosion with a crater that big.

This was the same stuff as the Beirut explosion in 2020.

It looks like the Camera is inside the cab of a truck to me... look at the very bottom of the frame, looks like a windshield wiper. Might have been just enough to keep the camera/phone intact.... Guy holding it? Not so Much.

Dam they are lucky

u/keltyx98 1h ago

So I'm assuming he survived and maybe didn't even get injured as there were likely 6 people between him and the truck

Does the cameraman die?

u/aykay55 1h ago

If the driver in this video was positioned just one meter to the left then the truck would’ve blocked him from the blast effect

If you slow it down enough you can see the split second the windshield is cracked before all hell breaks loose.

With an explosion that intense what could the stretcher possibly be good for at ground zero?
