#5 Been away from this stuff for over ten years, so my stuff is not real current. Howsoever, ima calling that an anti-tank mine. Crater is too deep for an IED and ginzu bombs leave no crater, wo a seconary on impact.

Again, old roadside bomb knowledge.

#6 /\ One caveat upon reflection. Could have been a cellie remote detonation of a single or double stack anti-tank mine.

#7 Agreed, B. That blast crater definitely came from an underground (centered at least 25-30 cm below surface) explosion as it blew mostly 'up', not 'out'.

Guessing on depth from the crater walls I can see on the video, and they don't show a good internal 'hole shot' for more insight.

Only basing this on my experience reviewing, and witnessing, 'failures' of underground electrical cables and/or equipment. Absolutely NO experience with the 'stuff' you've come across.
