At least 12 people have died and others are injured, officials say, warning the death toll could climb as the investigation continues.

    The other video with sound makes it clear that the fuel fire is drawing in a huge amount of air. I looked at it on google maps and the camera doesn’t convey how close that guy was to the fireball. It looks like he was parked at the back of the lot and the plane went between him and the entrance to the lot.
