Squib load. The bullet never exited the barrel and when the next load was fired a poor Garand was ruined.

Would have ruined a rich Garand, too.[emoji16]

I want to do a bit of review here as I've never dealt with a squib. If I remember right, a squib is when the bullet is pushed out of the case, but doesn't clear the barrel? Usual causes are no/too little/bad powder? Often you can tell as the shot sounds different? If I'm right so far, then you'd wait a minute in case it was really a hang fire, eject the case, drop the mag, and clear the barrel with a cleaning rod? Sound right?

Yep. You gat a click, then just a light "Puff" normally. We always say "Click but no bang, Check the Bore". You have to get the bullet back out with a cleaning rod, Brass Rod, or wood dowel if in a pistol.
What the woman did wrong if you watch again, is pull the trigger, and got nothing. She ejects the shell into her hand, and chambers another round. Then BOOM!!!
She could have told by the lack of the bullet in the ejected shell there was a bullet in the bore.

I've sat through 2 "professional" safety indoctrinations at indoor ranges and neither covered this issue.
Thanks for requesting clarification. There are others who weren't confident enough to ask and you may have prevented someone losing a hand.

Squib 100%. If you pull the trigger don’t feel a bang work the action find a case without a bullet, something went seriously wrong.

That’s why if you ever have to manually rack a round like that you should check your barrel for any obstruction. In my experience a squib will not cycle the action of any un modified gun.
