I love how the fire lights up the blast wave. That is really something else.

that was wicked!

This was in Russian:
[Whisper] - ohhh Unbelieable
Holy shit
Nadia did you film the explosion?
Yes...
What was that boom?
Horrible...
Just horrible...

Possible fake? Or at least poorly CGI enhanced? Notice after the big boom how much debris is in the air. After the convenient camera shake, the debris is nowhere to be seen. It never falls from the sky. It just disappears.

^ ^ actually i think it's the air glowing orange from being compressed so hard.

compare this vacuum bomb. (although the picture is released from the Russian army, so may not be THAT credible.

» Here's another view from much closer.

hrm ya you're right, the debri just disappears, weird.

The debris is still there, it's just zoomed out and not on fire anymore. Look on the left side after the shake, just over the house. You can see a few black objects still falling.

Someone forgot to rebuild the oil power plant when it was 75 years old.

Ya, you have to remember where they debris was before the cut away. Right as it cuts away, it is nearly at the same level as the upward moving shroom. We come back so you would expect the shroom to still be going upward and debris still moving downward but it has panned out so much it is hardly visible...but you can see it below (way below) the shroom after it tapers off a bit.

Ya think Sarah Palin could see this from her house?

My Russian is a little rusty but I think he said, "Holy shit!"

To clarify, the auto-focus went to the pane of glass rather than infinity. None-the-less, if you look closely, you can still see debris falling on both sides of the mushroom cloud. Also, Arvana produced another video of the same explosion from a different point of view. Also, it would be a super impressive fake. All of the caustics off of the glass seem correct and the atmospheric effects seem correct.

When the camera pulls back from the window, the focus and camera position changes. You can't see the debris any more because it is much smaller and way out of focus.

Instead of saying "Fake!" try saying "Why can't I see the flying debris after the blast wave hits the camera?" Then somebody can explain, and you don't look like a youtube troll.
