Anyone care to calculate the aircraft speed, based on known dimensions of objects in the frame?

If you were to plan a ultra low level flyby, what speed would you choose? (clearly the troops were given enough warning to climb the containers)

Can we use the rotor rpm to crosscheck the above (probably not but worth asking)

Numerous cameras in use but only one video published thus far?
The plastic cone positioned camera right is unmoved?
No markings or insignia discernible?

On the other hand...
The reflection of blades in the puddle is convincing.
At the end of the clip, the image slightly brightens when the operator sticks his finger into frame. The aircraft brightens to the same degree. (requiring an exceptional commitment to detail, if it were a fake)
