That was no accident, unless the bomb went off by accident. The window was blown outwards.

Damn,What a friggin' mess!

its not so much the explosion thats lethal, because the closer you are to the bomb, the less damage, it's the shock wave's that cause the damage,and inside a bus like that would of been horendous, thats the cause of so much damage to the victims.

Uh ... the closer one is to a bomb, the more lethal it is. I think you're referring to the explosive effects of dynamite, which when placed on the ground, will yield its destructive power in kind of a shallow, inverted cone. The type of explosion here in this bus is quite deadly since the explosive material would be above ground; moreover, the steel frame of the vehicle would accentuate the destruction, diverting some of the blast energy back in on itself, as well as onto the passengers and the perp.

Not a sermon, just the facts.

yeah there's a condition called "blast lung", a person will appear unharmed by the explosion but in fact all the alveoli are ruptured and the person drowns in their own blood
