Knob Creek Oct 2008 Severe Accident

During a stunt at the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot on October 10th 2008, a stuntman was to be in a car and then blown up.

The car looked to be an old 4 door Honda. It looks like they placed some kind of mortars near the front and back tires for "blast effect" and then proceeded to cover the car with dry straw and gasoline for even more blast effect. Then the car was laced with looked to be det cord to set off the stunt.

The stuntman was to be "blown up" in the car, then run towards the crowd while on fire, then be put out by fire extinguisher at show center.

We were sitting on the bleachers directly at show center during the stunt. There's a short countdown and then the extremely large explosion. Don't pay any attention to the stuntman or the car. Look towards the bottom left and you will see a man in a hat flip his left hand up in the air then double over. You'll also see a man's arm just forward of him come up in the air and what looks like a loose shirt sleeve is actually a very large chunk of the man's arm cut loose and hanging. I believe the man in front received either broken or severely cut fingers. I believe there was a third injury, but after a crowd gathered, it was hard to tell.

Please excuse the poor quality of the video. It was done with my camera phone in hopes to get a stunt on video.

If anyone has any knowledge of the condition of the men with injuries, please post it here.
