Newly released video from a Texas law enforcement helicopter shows the explosion that ended the life of Austin serial bomber Mark Conditt as pursuing officers tried to arrest him earlier this year.
The video, released by the Texas Department of Public Safety, shows just how close several officers were to being injured when the homemade bomb went off the morning of March 21.
Conditt was driving his SUV around 2 a.m. CT as tactical teams followed him near Round Rock, just north of Austin. The video eventually shows one police van in front of the bombers vehicle when another bumps it from behind. The SUV glances off the van in front and slides into the median between an access road and the highway.
The imaging in the black-and-white video shows an explosion in the drivers seat area that sends debris to the left, out into the road. What looks like a piece of metal flaps from the door area.
Got an explosion. Got an explosion inside the vehicle, an officer, apparently in an air unit, says.

They are spooning and sponging him up to learn more....
I wax with profanity at the sight of this.
He’s dead, Jim.
I love happy endings.
Who doesn’t love a self cleaning oven?
Still...
Dead still...
Thank you Uncle Buck.
I love a happy ending. Glad none of the LEOs were injured.

LOL! My tag line.
His smashing that window was probably a blessing in disguise or he would have had a face full of glass.
That could have been his airbag blowing up. It was recalled....
