7/7 and the patterns of bomb damage
#1
This continues to puzzle me.

Aldgate victim Lee (Patrick) Baisden was, by seemingly universal agreement, positioned right next to the bomb; and was found, terribly injured, half-in and half-out of the hole blown in the train carriage floor:

15 I now turn to say something about each individual
16 deceased.
17 Lee [Patrick] Baisden, who worked, in fact, for the London
18 Fire & Emergency Planning Authority
as a finance and
19 procurement officer, was probably standing very close to
20 the bomb. We can see his name at number 6, immediately
21 adjacent to the red cross.
22 The bomb blew a hole in the carriage floor and
23 Mr Baisden's body was seen by a number of witnesses to
24 be very near the crater that it left.
25 According to the pathologist, Dr Nicholas Hunt -- and I don't

2 deep burns over his entire face and neck and the lower
3 parts of both legs had been amputated.

More on the unlucky Mr Baisden:

Mr Baisden had been working with the fire brigade for 18 months and on the morning of 7 July left for work an hour later than usual.

Lee Baisden, 34, an accountant for the London Fire Brigade, from Romford, Essex, was one of seven passengers to die in the blast that morning.

Records suggest he was standing very close to the bomb on the Circle Line train, Mr Keith said.

He added: "The bomb blew a hole in the carriage floor and Mr Baisden's body was seen by a number of witnesses to be near the crater that it left."

Now compare and contrast with the mess made of the alleged rucksack bomber not much further away, Tanweer, who is reportedly identified by spine found on the tracks. Would a matter of inches - OK, a couple of feet - really account for the discrepancy in the wounding patterns?
"There are three sorts of conspiracy: by the people who complain, by the people who write, by the people who take action. There is nothing to fear from the first group, the two others are more dangerous; but the police have to be part of all three,"
