Footage from Russian state broadcaster RT has captured the moment a missile lands just a few feet from where its reporter was broadcasting in southern Lebanon.
RT, formerly Russia Today, said Steve Sweeney, its Lebanon bureau chief, and his cameraman had "miraculously survived" and were being treated in hospital.
The BBC has verified the footage.

Russia's state media broadcaster, Steve Sweeney and his camera man, survived and were being treated. The BBC says it verified the footage.

They wear those flak jackets to look authentic. Looks like it might have saved him. Why was a Russian reporter doing his story in English?

Fire In the Hole!!! Indeed.
A suspicious person would note that the explosion just happened to be in a preexisting hole and the news caster ducked before there was any warning.
I call bunk.
