ISIS Suicide Bomber Explodes in Mid-Air

"... This footage is part of an ongoing effort to document the current conflicts around the world. This footage is not meant to encourage or glorify violence against any person or group of people.

Before the suicide bomber reached its main goal, Peshmerga Forces were able to destroy the vehicle. As the truck took the hit, the explosives went airborne and exploded midway through the air."

Holy crap! I always thought videogames were being silly when cars explode and fly in the air....I guess I have to completely re-think that now! That's insane....and *quality ...I just hope it's not killed as snuff.

That seems ... odd.

It sounds like they caught the guy before he made it to wherever he was going, but it seems like you'd have to get really lucky to lure him to drive his vehicle onto a bomb powerful enough to launch it that high into the air. Not to mention that I'd wager that a few hundred (or thousand) bullets would probably be a much more surefire AND cheaper way to keep him from reaching that destination.

Maybe that actually happened; they had already made swiss cheese out of the dude and vehicle before this video was taken, but to dispose of his suicide explosives which hadn't yet detonated they piled enough of their own explosives under the car to launch it sky high and trigger the guy's bomb(s)?


Anyway, I think that we're missing some of the story here.

watch it again, 2nd explosion image is simultaneous with 1st explosion's sound. 2nd explosion sound comes later.

Also, the sound is simultaneous with the explosion. There would be a delay at that distance. Did they edit the sound somehow?

You're totally right. I am now concerned about how short my attention span is. Is it possible I stopped the video before the second explosion? Time to re-evaluate my life.

Talk about having a bad day at work. Poor bugger, driving along, minding his own business, and is blown up twice. Ranks right up there with Wiley Coyote. Beautiful.
