Remarks | This reporting is based on my camera footage from AMS138 Cam7 and Cam4 and also from hearing from a person who witnessed it from 50 km north from my place. Information on hearing of concurrent sound and smashing into small pieces are based on the person (though not any such details is detected in the stacked photo and video (it may be due to lack of high Dynamic Range as our eyes), and due to excessive bursting light in the core all such details are washed out. |
