The problem is where you draw the distinction.
What about a person or animal who is not killed by the shock wave but may by

Hi all
We have studying the Carancas event with several colleagues from Peru and
elsewhere. In particular we analyze the case of the bull that was knocked by
the explosion shockwave, as well as other similar situations.

Hello George, List
I believe Carl pointed out that the translated term "Bull" does not necessarily
mean bovine but could be any male animal. I don't know if ewe included all
female animals and not just a female sheep. So the bull reference could be
referring to the llama.

Bomb blasts were introduced as a way of ramping into a discussion of
shock waves. Be it a

I don't have a clue as to how big the Carancas object would have been, but
factoring in the objects velocity upon impact, I'd guess there would have b

Hiya,
My point was that an impact/blast that results in a mortality
producing shock wave is universally defined as an impact/blast
casualty.
Hiya,
My point was that an impact/blast that results in a mortality
producing shock wave is universally defined as an impact/blast
casualty. Your attempt to pull shock waves out of the equation in an
assessment of an impact/blast is akin to taking water out the equation
in a drowning.
