Medical news of the obvious
If you want to survive a suicide attack, try getting as far from the bomb as you can in advance.
That's the upshot of a new study by Florida Institute of Technology researchers. The unfortunate first line of this press release about the study may just win the Obvious of the Year award:
"Florida Institute of Technology researchers have determined that where a person is standing in a room or other location during a suicide terrorist attack can have a great bearing on survival and injuries."
