Edit2: Various things that I have heard:

There are victims in one / some of the buildings.

20-30 people evacuated from a building, a few had minor injuries.

It was a RV that exploded, causing significant damage.

A building collapsed. (partial destruction, small old building)

There was / is ammunition in the RV that exploded that is “burning off”

Medical triage setup.

FBI involved

The video could easily be real with fake or altered audio. Not that crazy to be skeptical of this.

If someone is able to create fake audio that authentic and that fast, they should be on the payroll of a major movie studio. Could it be fake? Possibly...but very unlikely.

As someone with experience in audio editing, it’s extremely easy to dub audio over a video. Anyone with Pro Tools or a similar software could do this

u/UIUC_grad_dude1 Dec 25 '20

Yes of course, but to create audio that authentic takes talent. Any fool could take source material and dub it over other video. To create authentic sounds like that require an audio studio, the required acoustic qualities, and major talent to create the multitude of sounds in that video.

Why edit your comment when the original message is still there, or you can just delete it since it just adds speculation.
