Was this a hackers job?

So I'm new to DayZ, and after finding a akm in the school house in elektro i got sniped. Luckily, I spawned back near elektro and managed to recover my weapon. After taking fire from the sniper again, I decided to bail it to the fire station. I ran, sniper shot at me and missed, and i made it.

However, after a few minutes in the fire station tower thinking about my next move, i see an explosion in the middle of elektro. It's pretty big, and a whole building collapses. Suddenly, I get a broken leg. FUCK! But I think its managable, I do have morphine. However I die a few seconds later.

This explosion was about next to the school house, and I mean the fire station ISNT that close. However, I lost my good items, and now I am pissed off.

Did a hacker do this, bring a massive explosion to knock out a building in elektro? Or is there some weapon I don't know about?

Hacker. Plain and simple

Satchel charge will take out a building...

Well it could be many legit things like 1 or more satchel charges or a group with a M126 launcher.

Its not always hackers people.

Also he could have shot you?

No, there was no way. I was in the corner, away from the window, watching through the window with third person. Even the sniper who tried getting me couldn't hit me.

Yes satchel charges can take out a building, but how does it kill me?

Could have been a hacker using artillery.

Concussion?

Blast radius is pretty good.

could be a stachel charge also a .50 cal can shoot through most of the walls ingame. Plus stachel charges are bugged they explode more then once but the next times it's "invisible".

Ok..Where were you? Away from window? or watching through the window?

I wasn't standing up looking out of the window if you mean that, no.

I was prone, hiding in the corner. I used third person to get an angle so I could see what was happening.

Sure, maybe a satchel charge. Let the blast break my bones. But does it really need to kill me?

Calculate the distance between the fire station and the school, then add another 200m to the distance. That's how far the explosion was.
