B. … injuries from
collapse of buildings, flying debris, etc.
C. Direct effects of
the high blast pressure…
D. Radiation injuries,
from…emission of gamma rays
It is impossible to
assign exact percentages …the types of injury, because so many victims were
injured by more than one effect of the explosions….Col. Warren…stated it is
probable that 7 per cent or less of the deaths resulted… from radiation
disease.
The greatest single factor ….was the distance of the
person concerned from the center of explosion.
Task: Base responses on today’s reading, the Collection’s
reading and discussion:
