By my very rough, piece of paper held to the monitor measurement.

What amazes me is that whatever the secondary explosion was, it occurred about as close to the peak of the loft as possible.

What kind of explosives are not going to be set off by an initial concussion that could launch a vehicle that high?

And why was someone filming?

If that is in fact what it was, then I think he's going to be pretty disappointed when he shows up to nab his 27 virgins down in hell. Lol.

Anyone seriously dumb enough to believe that you are going to get ANYTHING once you die hasn't got the good sense of a pea. Honestly, the comment about "why virgins"? makes so much sense; but to get back to reality, the fact that you die and get anything is such a pathetic, weak joke.

For the individual. For those who use them up and toss them away after their life energy has been stolen, it's a great scam, and worse than cynical. The sorrow is that they take a lot of lives that were not so brainwashed. And cause generations of pain.

Hit with enough force to throw it perfectly vertical 250' into the air, then its onboard payload explodes and it's still whole, no doors or trunk or bits come off, but instead remains intact after that?!!!

That's one tough vehicle.
