#3 Explosions like this are large events. The images if they exist could help. It's not like trying to read the letter the guy is holding in his hand.

#4 But what are the chances that a satellite would be looking at that area at a high enough resolution to be able to tell something useful, with a _video stream_ of the event?

Remember, for most systems, resolution multiplied times area under surveillance is going to be a constant.
