I have seen on NE member larcher's phone a video of the most dramatic elephant charge with Buzz Charlton. Not public footage.
JB - larcher and his cousin Luc were BOW hunting bull elephant. The elephant bursts from the Bushvedt very close range, JB and Buzz step to the side. Luc was using a camera and doesn't. I think Buzz fired a shot. The elephant puts his head down on top of Luc and pushes him along for maybe up to twenty feet. Maybe another shot and the elephant falls over.
Very dramatic.
Amazingly Luc survived. Broken collar bone and ribs, maybe pelvis, I forget.
Doubly amazing Luc wanted to get out hunting again a few days later and did. Now shooting a rifle. The recoil upsetting his ribs everytime it was fired .... Or something like that.
I don't think this video will ever feature on a Buzz Charlton video ...
Actually have read the link.

In the second, a French client had six ribs broken and a lung collapsed. But the doctor discovered a blocked artery, and he ultimately had a triple heart bypass. So that elephant stomping indirectly saved his life.
Crazy amazing story...
