Nobody is talking about this part of the wreck but if you look at the bottom left of the video in the beginning you can see a TV camera and cameraman stationed at the exact point of impact. At the end of the video if you look back at that spot you can see it was totally wiped out. The cars engine, front wheel and axle assembly came through the fence right into the camera. You can't see the cameraman running in the video so I hope he's okay, he had to move somewhat or he would be dead for sure. The impact sheared the two steel cables that back the catch fence. You can also see clearly in the video that one of the wheels from Kyle Larsons car actually landed 3 seats away from the guy shooting the video. That tire wiped out two people, one is the guy who is still sitting in the chair next to the tire, the tire hit him in the legs. If you look about four seats further down that row you will see a man laying on the ground who probably was hit by the tire before it hit the guy sitting down. Really nasty wreck, it's a miracle nobody was killed in the stands. Man the footage from that camera that got wiped out must be incredible.
Here is a view from a fan a little further down the track.

In this view from the stands you can actually see when you go frame by frame that the cameraman does bail out on his camera a fraction of a second before his camera is obliterated. Lucky dude.

NASCAR was pulling these videos down like crazy yesterday, surprised these three have survived.
