What precipitates the detonation that is shocking?
Yeah...I see a military vehicle and a kaboom...where is the shocking part?
This does not seem to be video from a drone. The POV is pretty constant, the the voice says that a day has elapsed, the timer confirms this, yet camera angles are similar. A flying drone might, I think, orbit around rather than hover.
I wonder if that video is connected to Brandon Bryant?
He recalls watching helplessly as insurgents buried an IED in a road and a U.S. Humvee drove over it.
“We had no way to warn the troops,” he said. He later learned that three soldiers died.
(but this wasn’t a Humvee)

Why is this in News/Activism? Methinks it belongs in Chat.
Has this video been associated with an incident, as in do we know when and where it happened and if people were hurt? The reason I ask is that this seems to be some sort of exercise. The video is just too convenient. I’d like to know more before I jump to conclusions.
I have friends in the Marines who clear roads of IEDs.
Youtube says this video went up in March 2013
My guess is that that surveillance camera (mounted to whatever it was mounted to) is not monitored in real time. They got the video out of it after the fact.
We do have drones that are operated by personnel who see what they see as it happens, like in Benghazi. We have others mounted on vehicles or aircraft. But we also have those that are fixe and not monitored continuously. I suspect that that is what we have here.
It may have been transmitting to a remote site (and stored on a server), or it may have had local storage. but I believe this is one that the videop of the event was discovered after the fact.
My guess is, after it occurred and was reported that someone said, "We have a camera monitoring that areas," and they wnet to the server, got the video for that date, and then watched it, and then went back in time on that video until they found the tangos planting the bomb.
In this case, no need for a conspiracy, or a callous act by someone like Benghazi certainly was.
