Blast Overpressure and Experiment Outcomes

At a testing ground in England, experts simulate a car bomb explosion similar to one planned by Pavlik. The simulation reveals that while the car's engine block deflects the blast, the shock wave could still cause fatal injuries. The experiment highlights the potential damage of blast overpressure, which can cause internal injuries even without shrapnel. Pavlik, being at the blast's center, would have been the only certain casualty.
