In Angle #6, did that crack in the roof occur in real time due to the explosion or does it just seem that way due to low resolution of the camera? If that crack was due to the explosion, then I'm concerned for much of the infrastructure which is within a 3 KM radius around the explosion.

I believe we watched it happen in realtime. If you turn your volume up (careful, the initial blast is quite louder) you can hear [what I believe is] it cracking. Yikes.

It does seem to be real time. I noticed the delay as well in angle #7. The shock wave hits the car and the driver a good 3-4 seconds after the blast.
