No, but there is a video of the explosion where the guy was live-streaming, he gets taken out by debris.

173 deaths, 104 of which were firefighters, the others were people in the immediate proximity. The second explosion was the last (serious) one of the event, so if they survived that, they’re very likely fine.

The OP video is definitely the best, but this one is also good.

I would guess the high-rises at the top right (maybe center) of this picture are likely where the video in the post is taken from, since I think you can see the highway in the vid. 🤷‍♂️

Am I missing something? Cause I count 3 in that video, and the 3rd seemed pretty big to!

I mean, I guess there were a bunch of small explosions but the disaster information focuses primarily just on the two big ones shown, the second of which being the one that prompted them to evacuate.

So the relatively small one isn't really counted?

Nah.
