Given the amount of ammo seen stacked up at the beginning of the video, I wouldn't have stopped running. If the whole lot cooked off in one go then they would all of been killed where they sheltered first of all.
'twas vaguely amusing to see them take shelter in the lorry at the beginning: "Quick, close the windows and lock the doors!!"
