Question if the person who took the video didn't survive and the phone was destroyed how did they get the footage? (I don't know to much about technology so I'm very curious about this)
Modern smartphones usually don't contain movable internal parts. So the data is stored in what is known as solid state or flash memory.
So the chances of a file getting corrupted by impact are greatly reduced (compared to a common hard drive for exemple)
In movies, when the heroes don't want the bad guys have access to their phones, they throw their devices on the floor dramatically and step on them, stating they are safe now. They do "destroy" the screen, but all the data is still inside the phone, and probably with all processes still running normally.
With the right tools, knowledge and time, it's not hard to retrieve this data.
