Oh wow, i really don't think the guy that cheated death knew what happened.
And how close he came to death!

The thing that amazed me was how they didn't really register what just happened and carried on as normal:

There's a reason demolition crews bar the public from being remotely close to demolition sites. This man in the Czech Republic narrowly escaping death by high velocity concrete is why.

Secondary fragments can be as deadly as the primaries.

You can tamp against primary frag, but it is hard to tamp for secondaries.

This is one of the reasons why you put up a berm or some temporary ground level barrier as secondary frags tend to stay close to the ground.

These people were lucky :yep:
