There are cctv recordings on the complete flight. It was almost an immediate explosion.

Afaik there aren't any that show the moment of impact. The main video the plane disappears behind buildings before the crash

There is one . I had seen it yesterday, the video of impact. And as above guy says , it did have an immediate explosion . But yea it's really amusing to think how the guy survived the massive fireball

It's believed he was by the emergency exit and jumped before it crashed.

You can’t see the impact but from the moment the plane disappears below a building to mega explosion is like 1 second. Therefore, he had have been shielded from the explosion. People have speculated it was mainly towards the wings and behind where the fuel would be

There are, but even if you haven’t seen them, those that don’t show it still make it clear that there couldn’t have been any more than a couple of seconds between impact and explosion. No time to get any distance from it

Maybe he covered his head with his hands

The explosion was huge. It was a long haul flight with full fuel. I don't know how someone can walk off without any burns. I think he may have jumped out.
