      As best I can tell they are different videos, from different cameras, or at least cut to different lengths, different annotation, etc.

      Or… well… they ‘were’ different videos?

      Man, getting memory-holed in real time is really fucking something.

      EDIT:

      Yeah, yep, in the vxinstagram video, you can see the camera (wo)man who took the video that I watched, the X url video.

      At around the one minute mark in the vxinstagram url vudeo, she can be seen on the right, with a phone, dressed in a gray jacket, tan… I’m unsure of the correct name for the headwrap.

      Different smartphone videos, from different people.

      EDIT 2:

      The… the X video has had a … signficantly clearer video and audio of the moment the Marine’s forearm snaps.

      The onlookers were generally all further away than that camera was, and … they were close to being accurate, saying it was his hand.

      They likely heard the snap, but probably didn’t clearly see the uh, forearm deform, along with that snap.
