A time traveler reporter team wants to film the meteorite impact that led to the extinction of dinosaurs. They are thinking to teleport somewhere on Earth surface 30 minutes before the impact and to leave a few minutes after. Is it
possible to find a safe enough location on Earth from where to shoot the film or is it really too dangerous ?

If they can calculate impact time to exact minutes, and know exact POI and time travel I think they will be safe no matter where they will be.

This is the Tsar Bomba detonation seen from approximately 161 km away:
I took it from Wikipedia, which also has this to say about how far destruction went:
The bomb was attached to an 800-kilogram parachute, which gave the release and observer planes time to fly about 45 kilometres (28 mi) away from ground zero, giving them a 50 percent chance of survival. When detonation occurred, the Tu-95V dropped one kilometre in the air because of the shock wave but was able to recover and land safely.
...
All buildings in the village of Severny (both wooden and brick), located 55 km (34 mi) from ground zero within the Sukhoy Nos test range, were destroyed. In districts hundreds of kilometres from ground zero, wooden houses were destroyed, stone ones lost their roofs, windows, doors and radio communications were interrupted for almost one hour. One participant in the test saw a bright flash through dark goggles and felt the effects of a thermal pulse even at a distance of 270 kilometres (170 mi). The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km (62 mi) away from ground zero. A shock wave was observed in the air at Dikson settlement 700 km (430 mi) away; window panes were partially broken for distances up to 900 kilometres (560 mi).
This is the blast radius of that bomb in a simulation tool, hitting exactly where the Chicxulub asteroid hit:
Zoom in onto the little red marker.
This is a map from some scientists at Imperial College London, estimating how far impact ejecta flew off after the meteor impact:

And I think most of that was going at hypersonic speed. You'd need to have it way below your horizon to be safe. There is also the shockwave, which did travel much faster than sound as well, and probably went around the world more than once.
But hey, if you can travel back in time, you can send in multiple satellites in low orbit and try for a few composite photos. Then use them for frames in a video. Or do a flyby video of the blast, using a perspective like the one the IIS uses for filming the Earth.

If they can calculate impact time to exact minutes, and know exact POI and time travel I think they will be safe no matter where they will be.
