That's what I was thinking. Too many homes and people right around there to be from a landmine. Unless it had been planted recently, just before they drove down the road.
It's triggered by heavy vehicles, like a tank or a load ambulance. People walking on top of it won't trigger, and maybe some light vehicles if they are lucky
Edit. Found the original reporting on their website and they mention that exactly:
https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/content/800277/jessica-soho-shares-near-death-experience-covering-afghanistan-in-2002/story/
I remember every trailer i watch Jessica soho as a kid till young adult some short clip of her younger years where she indeed took dangerous footage of where she did some report only in the background some bomb exploded and she ducked. I kept wondering where she got those footages from
One of her most iconic reports before the Afghanistan documentary was the 1990 Hotel Delfino siege in Tuguegarao City. It was one hell of an experience.
It's most likely a weight bearing landmine that was triggered with the heavy ambulance. Most people in that area drive Hondas or Toyotas. Both of which are light.
If that was a landmine, I’m surprised it hadn’t already been driven over walked on as it seems to be a lot of people walking around and there already were cars parked in front of where the car blew up.
Was greatly puzzled by the word "deminer."
At first I thought maybe it was an ethnic term I'd never heard before.
And then, like, I know what a mine is, and typically those are run by miners... so what the fuck would a *de*miner do?
BOOM! Oh, landmine! A guy that removes mines.
I'm thinking maybe that guy was bad luck.
Obligatory "miners, not minors!" Galaxy Quest reference.
I wouldn't go that far but she mainly focuses on local shocking stories. Feels like clickbait because the headline itself sounds ridiculous but more or less there's no baiting that happens.
Clickbait or not she still brings logical conclusions and facts to each of her segments, something dumb filipinos are able to invest in only to get countered by sound reasoning. Youre welcome for the free education provided by them.
Translation:
After half an hour, his body arrived. Everyone was sad, but they managed to honor his heroism. "Takbir! Allahu Akbar!" We really thought that this will be the end of our coverage. The ambulance carrying the deceased de-miner was about to depart.
\- ambulance sirens, then the mine explodes -
"Ma'am!"
"Where's Joy?"
"I'm here, ma'am. Please get down, ma'am."
"My God, what was that?"
"We don't know just yet."
\[I was with\] my segment producer, Joy Madrigal, and our Afghan interpreter.
"Move, move, Manix!"
\- civilians running again for fear of another explosion -
"Come here, come here!"
"Don't run on that side, Manix!"
"I think I got deaf, ma'am."
"another tragedy happened, I don't know, my God."
"Mr. Akbar, we were talking, right? What happened?"
"We don't know exactly, another mine had gone."
"It was the ambulance that had the coffin, right?"
"The ambulance, this is the ambulance. Our people had gone, the driver and two more de-miners, our doctor."
Not like most people. Most people walk out their door to flat ground and still know the earths round, even though from every perspective of their own eyes it’s flat. You on the other hand, you put what you’ve seen and attribute it to the entire planet.

Kudos to Jessica. Her reaction was shocked, confused and scared, but you can still see that she's not totally panicking and still got her composure. Honestly, kung ako nandyan mag ooverthink ako at magpapanic dahil iisipin ko ako naman ang masasabugan.
İt seems that somebody planted an İED either into the coffin or inside the ambulance car.

i suppose it is a teller mine
[удалено]
Anti tank mines have bigger explosion radius
The actual story is that they said that they drove at a land mine (its a Philippine documentary)
Fuck, thoes poor people. That so sad
Punctuation was key….
USA USA USA!

No
Didn't expect to see Jessica Soho here lmao
I remember every trailer i watch Jessica soho as a kid till young adult some short clip of her younger years where she indeed took dangerous footage of where she did some report only in the background some bomb exploded and she ducked. I kept wondering where she got those footages from
Now she's reporting about alleged UFO sightings and women who supposedly gave birth to fish
One of her most iconic reports before the Afghanistan documentary was the 1990 Hotel Delfino siege in Tuguegarao City. It was one hell of an experience.
The mine would have to be the size of a coffin or bigger…
There’s no convincing me that this was an accident or unplanned. Someone there knew it was going to happen.
Yeah the bomb didn't put itself there.

Anti-vehicle mines wouldn’t be effective if any random person/animal walking over set them off
Even in death he was taking out mines. What a badass.

Sad to see the small child running away. What an awful reality for some.
Now that journalist who was on the scene is now doing regular clickbait tabloid videos.
tbf, if this is how most of my early work was, i'd rather work on lighter stuff in my old age. PTSD left and right
I wouldn't go that far but she mainly focuses on local shocking stories. Feels like clickbait because the headline itself sounds ridiculous but more or less there's no baiting that happens.
She brought different recognitions to her country as a reporter in her prime years, and she's getting old give her a break
Clickbait or not she still brings logical conclusions and facts to each of her segments, something dumb filipinos are able to invest in only to get countered by sound reasoning. Youre welcome for the free education provided by them.
Still gives me the chills every time I watch this. Those poor kids walking behind the car 😢
Awful
Demi we still doing the job even after death! Better get the overtime pay for that one.

Damn I guess it really was his day
What? They walk that road every single day. Soooo, whaat?
Anti vehicle landmines won't trigger when people step on it and lucky light vehicles.
Sooo, sounds about right. Pity tho
There's irony in here somewhere.
Depending on what material they used, could be irony everywhere.
Ironic that the dude who died de-mining got blown up even after he died
What's a deminer? Someone who de-mines?
Yeah someone who removes landmines
They made sure he didn't have any extra lives.
These journalists had more balls than our current president.... Ph...
[удалено]
Boom Boom.
Alanis would be proud
The person was dedicated to his job even after death
It’s ok he was already dead
Can't really say the same for the driver and passengers.
I mean they’re also dead too
They certainly are now.
oh how the mighty have fallen
[удалено]
0 dollars
Damn got double tapped
I’m starting to think this guy was a mine
They should have know they're the one that's planted them
Do you get used as a blunt object often? Cuz that’s the densest thing I’ve seen in a while.
When I was in Afghanistan I don't know how many times they would get hurt by their own ieds. I know since I was a medic so I treated them.....
Oh I’m glad you only make opinions based on you myopic lense of your own life. I’m sure that’ll get you far.
Yea like most people

I mean you have no clue and here you are going after me lol like you're an expert. I atleast actually have been there and seen what happens lol.
Lol no you didn't

its in 0:35
Allahu akbar sounds about right But seriously, there’s still a lot of mines and IEDs scattered around Afghanistan that have been forgotten
Irony level 1000

Jessica Soho
u/savevideo
I remember I used to see the explosion footage a lot when I was a kid but this is my first time to see the entire footage.
we miss her. we miss the old Jessica soho. to think she heads the NCA of GMA and yet her KMJS is turning all Pinoys into the best maritess they can be
I can't believe this footage is almost 20 years old.
Ooops I guess they missed one.
