A passer-by who stopped to film a building demolition in Russia got too close to the action and filmed the moment he was fatally wounded by a piece of flying debris.
Evgeny Titov, 29, was recording the destruction of an old home in western Russia's Lipetsk Oblast on Sunday when he was fatally struck by a hail of bricks and rubble, NTV reports.
The 29-year-old had taken a break from his place of work nearby and was filming the demolition when he sustained the injuries that would lead to his death in hospital a short time later.

Generally speaking, a safe fall-zone would be over twice the distance of the height. For instance, if this building was 20 meters tall (give or take) then you should be at least 40 meters away.
