Afghan war hero reviews footage of the moment he stepped on an IED

Alec Waters was on his third tour of Afghanistan with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers when he stood on an IED and lost both his legs at the knee.
A fellow soldier who was wearing a headcam captured the crucial minutes between the bomb detonating and the arrival of the Chinook helicopter - minutes where Alec’s life was hanging by a thread.
It’s only in the last few years that he’s been able to watch the footage back and now, 10 years on, Alec describes what happened to him on that fateful day.
