Explosion in Beirut, The Rhosus and Hanger 12

I haven't heard the media mention "Blast-Lung Injury" at all but presumably some of the casualties in Beirut have this condition and presumably some have sadly died from it. Sometimes a casualty who has died with this condition can appear to have no external injury but the person's lungs have been destroyed by the blast from an explosion. There is only so much that the human body can take.

Yes, just the other day the episode of World At War covering the Blitz was being shown on Freeview TV, and there was the interview with a couple that where she described losing both her children and mother in a raid on Plymouth, and the husband who was in the Navy at the time and described getting back from Devonport yard that day after the raid and looking at his two dead children and describing how they had no injuries or marks on them at all, and just looked like they were asleep.
