You may be right. My friend was trained as a sapper and he often talked about the importance of positioning the charges correctly. Even the simplest AT mines are designed to direct the most of the blast on the up-down - axis, to maximize the damage.

And like somebody already wrote, the cameraman could judt have been a dead man walking his final steps. The blast should have caused massive internal damage at that range. Maybe someone just salvaged the memory card of the camera/phone afterwards.
