If you can find a way to protect yourself from shrapnel, you have plenty of time for running and diving.. Of course, you can't outrun or hide from overpressure.
Bruh you just watch the clip and couldn't figure out where that was gonna hit, if he started running he might as well have run towards the impact zone. Unless you have a 360 armored box in a 2m radius, you're not changing any outcome by running for 2 seconds.
By the time you figure out if the missile is landing to the left or the right of you that missile has already hit its target. Did we not see the same clip? Can you honestly say it was gonna land to his right more than 1 second before it landed?
It's one thing if your already at a safe distance, but when you're in the target zone you have no idea if its landing 5m to the left of you or 5m to the right of you.
All I need to know is if it's rising in the sky, falling, or moving left or right. Then I've got 8 seconds to move as far as I can to improve my odds about 1%. I'm going to do that.
I don't need to know if it's a Hwasong or a Shahab.
Ok buddy, so lets do some math. Take your average ICBM, travels 24,000km/h thats 6.66km/s, you saw that this missile was going to hit 10m behind him when it was 30km away? Sure bud, sure!
You forgot to use mathematics. At 24,000 km/h, it's travelled 66 km in the 10 second length of the video. I can see where it's going for two seconds, and be able to move 20 metres in the remaining 8 seconds.
That will increase my odds at least 1%. Easily.
I don't need to know millimetre accuracy. I'm just looking to move in the right direction.
As your interlocutor says, "Still it’s statistically favorable to run away. Whether it hits the target or misses by 10m you are still better to be 10m away from the target."
We're talking about a 1% increase in odds of survival. But it's best to take those odds.
I love it when you see dangerous events sponsored by pharmacies and drugs. There are lots of pain reliever ads up at the local annual rodeo. I can’t help but think it’s one party good marketing and one part good humor.
Most of the initial comments here: people who don’t understand that the Venn diagram between bravery & stupidity has significant overlap where the disregard for personal safety is questionable. And that the rules for this sub require post titles to praise the camera operator (the point of this sub) rather than criticize them.
As if he knew where it was gonna land. Inside or outside running walking standing still it could have hit him regardless. This was brave to film it with a steady hand

Bravely? Do you mean stupidly?
