    If he's luck he landed on top of the building to the right, otherwise he likely landed after a 40' or 50' launch! With injuries landing from that height combined with the injuries upon explosion he likely didn't survive that one!

    This happened in Yemen. The truck driver who overinflated the tire is dead, and the tire serviceman survived miraculously.

    Did the wheel land to the left of the picture? Behind the truck on the road?

    It looks like it did, you see the shadow and then the puff of dust when it lands.
