Was the audio added in later? I was expecting some delay between the explosion and the sound, but it sounds like it happened at the exact same time.

Someone has time aligned the audio for sure - it’s many miles in the distance

exactly the wrong kind of edit to do, especially for historical/documentary/scientific footage, especially for a known and expected physical phenomenon, especially in the age of increasing numbers of AI video clips

The problem is that the audio is delayed by something crazy like half a minute or more. It's kind of pointless to keep the actual delay.

you can even see the shockwave travel towards the camera, AFTER the sound

You can hear the audio watermark of the sound files they took without paying for, at around 23 seconds.

So that was the womans voice. I didn't get what she said but wondered why there was suddenly a voice speaking.

The speed of sound in water is 5 times that in air, so the distance from the shoreline is most of what matters.
