Could the crew survive that? The ammo is in an isolated compartment and you can see the blast doors flying away.(?)

Not a good feeling seeing that.

Hopefully it was crewed by Iraqis and not Americans.

Most assuredly, the crew could have and likely did survive. The "blast Doors" seen flying away are blow out panels designed to blow out and relieve pressure inside the ammo compartment. The Abrams tank is not invincible but it is a sure enough tough tank.
