1 - Reiner

He pleaded for his life after the explosion safety guard was already removed. There was no way to halt the explosion at that point.

also there is a body close to the explosion/titan's head on the last picture of the chapter; have you seen it ? i wonder who it was ? it seem to me the person was taken within the explosion field.

2 - Erwin

Erwin's death ? Well, why not ? He alrady has lost an arm. But that's not how i understood it. My interpretation of this scene is to show his determination. The "game" between regular humans and titan's shifters is at a turning point (check my blogpost) and Erwin is prepared to put his linfe on the line.

Also, it's showing that Erwin is not just a altruist hero... he also has is own human ambition and selfishness, which is to know a bit more of the hidden truth... he is the son of his father. ;-)
