    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.
