Nothing like watching the impact area FROM the impact area...

...of course the Ka-52 does have an ejection seat. Couldn't have hit THAT button instead firing the explosive bolts holding all rotor blades and sending the pilot for a ride and perhaps dropping the hulk before reaching the observation area. Just sayin.'

I'd like to know what happened to the guy in the center, just to the right of the cars.

That's a great question. He sure seemed to be in line with the rocket trajectory.
