Is it possible to die by an explosion shockwave?

I mean the air shockwave that generate an explosion not the fire blast

Who told you about my experiments? :~ :suss:

Absolutely. In fact explosions don't cause the bulk of the damage if done effectively. Saw something on the discovery channel on bombs that barely cause any damage due to the explosion but yet completely demolished the buildings etc. Also I think there is resarch in Sonic waves (which is air) for weaponry. I think there was a video around that showed a brick wall being collapsed using nothing but a sonic wave blast. Pretty sure that would kill a man.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

The majority of deaths from explosions in warfare come not from shrapnel or the explosion itself, but from the pulse of air created by the blast. This air travels outward in all directions as a shockwave. The most dangerous aspect of this shockwave is what it does to a human's lungs. It's natural in the event of a crisis moment for a human being to take a deep breath and hold it. This turns one's lungs into a pressurized balloon. When the shockwave hits the body, that balloon bursts, causing massive internal injury to the inner surface of the lungs. Thus most bomb victims die from internal bleeding in the lungs. They literally drown in their own blood. It takes from two to ten minutes and it is a horrific way to go. OMG i wish not to die this way

"If you are above ground within a few kilometers of a nuclear explosion, you are dead. If not from the blast itself, then you will soon die from the released gamma radiation. If you have a few hours warning, the best thing to do is to dig a hole deep enough for you and whoever else you wish to save and then cover the hole with thick boards and then cover the boards with at the very least one and a half feet of earth. The thicker the layering of earth, the better." ... and after the hole is dug and covered with dirt, you get in how?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

One of the oddest things you see in the aftermath of an explosion is that a lot of the victims are naked. The blast rips clothes from bodies, and the victim dies of explosive concussion.

I hear that koreans are going to test a nuke soon, so I dug a 10 foot hole. I stuffed it with food for 6 months for me. I covered the hole with thick (2 inch) wooden boards, and covered the whole thing with 5 feet of earth. I'm sure even the Tzar bomb will not do me any harm. The problem is, now the hole is all covered up, how do I get into the hole?

They're called Thermobaric[^] weapons.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
