Abstract
The explosion process described in Chapter 2 assumes spherical blast wave propagation in the surrounding medium air. In reality, terrorist bomb attacks are usually committed with hand-carried satchel bombs or vehicle bombs, exploding directly or nearby ground surface. The ground surface prevents the blast wave from a spherical propagation, so it is reflected and forced to propagate hemispherical.
