There was at least one case when a terrorists leader remained alive
because he was sitting in a front seat while the missile hit the
back seat. So it seems the blast effect is far from spherical.


I'd think it more likely that he was rather lucky, or had the benefit of
some armor protection, or a combination of both. Then again, did the missile
actually strike the vehicle, or was it a near miss? Eight or ten pounds of
Comp B (or whatever they are using as a filler) going off in intimate
contact with the side of the average POV is going to be an experience that
only the lucky occupants survive.

Yes, the missile DID hit the car, only the wrong seats row.
