About explosions
Blast injuries occur in four patterns: pressure-wave damage to lungs and ears, penetrating injury from fragments, blunt trauma from being thrown, and burns. Secondary structural collapse frequently causes more casualties than the blast itself.
Safety guidance
- Move away from the site — secondary explosions and structural collapse are common.
- Do not use lighters or switches if you smell gas.
- Control severe bleeding with direct pressure or a tourniquet while waiting for help.
- Stay off blocked roads so emergency vehicles can reach the scene.
