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.

He ducked very quickly. Like he’d done it before.

He needs to buy a lottery ticket now. Almost certainly staged by Hezbollah. If it had been Israeli it wouldn't have hit a vacant lot, and would have killed a high value target.
Just more Pallywood BS.

If it were the philistinans, a dead infidel would be a very small price to pay for a vivid piece of bloody propaganda, wouldn’t it?

Not much of a missile.
Looked to be somewhat less of an explosion than a 60MM mortar.

the news caster ducked before there was any warning. I call bunk.Ducked before any warning? Seriously?
Turn up your volume and you'll hear it sailing in before it hits. I've been under such attacks and that's exactly what incoming with your name on it sounds like. This looks and sounds real to me.
This guy's very lucky he heard it coming and got low before it hit. Flat on the ground's the best position to survive a close one.

He was so very fortunate that the shell landed in a pre-existing hole in a bridge.
If not, he most certainly would have been killed.

Thanks. But I wasn’t in the military at the time. Unlike our brave soldiers, I was being paid very well for the risks I took.
