Reply #234: why would there be burns?

[endarkenment]

perhaps a vwery few people would be close enough to the blast to be burned by it, but generally people are hit by the blast shock wave and the debris that goes with it and have all sorts of shrapnel type puncture wounds - i.e. they are bleeding profusely, or are crushed by falling stuff. I found the slide show on yahoo odd as well - lots of pictures of people with their faces wrapped in bandages but no signs of blood.
