That looks like an explosion from the front of the vehicle, maybe the passenger seat. The rear seems unaffected.

I wouldn't agree with that, explosives take the path of least resistance so you can get a lot more visible effects further away from the device than you'd think. They get even more confusing with reflections off hard surfaces. Again, amateur sleuths have terrible track records with determining the nature of explosions.

Lol

What was it then, some woman rushed to hospital to give birth only to find it was actually some Alien chest buster arriving early?

Try reading it again, I think you've misunderstood.

Passenger sat in the front?

Passenger sat in the front?

The passenger side air bag clearly fully deployed

so the bomb probably wouldn't have been in the front because surely it would have shredded the air bag? Also, several reports indicate that the passenger was most likely in the rear because "the driver locked the doors". If the passenger were in the front would he not have been able to reach over and unlock the doors?

Said on the news that the bloke
(Bomber) was an asylum seeker from the Middle East

Could have had mental health issues apparently ?

What sort of car would require the driver to reach over and lock the doors?

The taxi driver was in the car when the bomb exploded.
He had only minor injuries.
A very lucky escape

Fractured vertibra and perforated ear drums - plus shock - very lucky indeed to have got off so lightly

failed 7 years ago - the mental health issues is this country letting failed asylum seekers hang around so long. And considering they are breaking into the country at over a 1000 a day - the future is bleak

I suspect that if you'd escaped war, violence, persecution, death, starvation, pestilence, famine or drought, you'd be a bit traumatised.
Perhaps if the health system wasn't in such disarray his mental health problem could have been diagnosed and treated.
The Health system can't even accommodate UK soldiers, never mind traumatised asylum seekers.

Did it say the driver reached over to lock the doors? I can lock the doors on our 2008 Golf by the switch on the drivers door.

but he wasn't - his asylum application failed - we can only guess as to why he choose to blow up a hospital full of pregnant women and babies, but it wasn't because he had escaped war, violence, persecution... or he would have been granted asylum
