I thought it looked just like a TM-62 too, but the blast made me think again. I've seen those things go boom, I just can't believe that the cameraman could be walking after that.
Personally, I can't believe either someone is still walking after being like ~10 m next to an explosion of one of those mines. However, I assume it has a large impact on the force of the explosion, whether the mine is lying flat on the ground or "standing" on its lateral side.
More importantly, how did it go boom? Was it rigged to something to trigger it? Because those things won't go off even if you step on them.
That's a very good question.
I checked the specs of the TM-62, the standard fuze should require a pressure of 1500-5500N (150-550kg) to detonate. So the dragging should not have triggered it, unless the fuze was faulty - which would not be impossible considering the subpar quality of the Russian gear.
