      I calculated from the time the blast appeared (2:12) to the time the shockwave hit (2:39) giving me 27 seconds. At roughly 1100 ft/s (this will change with air temp but is close) giving me 28,700 feet or 5.625 miles. Regardless, pretty cools stuff!

    Was anyone hurt? I hiked over to Fuego just last year from Acatenango (where this looks like it was filmed from). But, if we were standing where our group was when we hiked to Fuego and this happened... it would not have been a happy day.
