......apparently, he survived the
blast, and was semi-conscious when the authorities arrived. Pretty
amazing when considering the rubble.

And considering the size and impact of the blasts. The military video
showing on the web is impressive but not very clear. I fisrt thought that
the safe house was surrounded by numerous other houses or buildings, many of
which appeared to be severely impacted by the blast. But that is not at all
the case. The safe house is (was) remote, out along a road in an area that
appears to be orchard or managed forest of some sort. You can see it on
Google Earth at N33 48 03 E44 30 48. The military video is a view looking
southward.
