Nearby, a co-worker's sewing machine suddenly broke down, spraying metal parts across the factory floor. A piece of shrapnel pierced Phuong's heart, killing her instantly. She was 23. Nike's response to the young woman's death was to boldly claim, 'We don't make shoes.' Knight and his team of self-proclaimed shoe dogs,
Then the secondary blast injury, that accounts for 85% of blasts. That's all the shrapnel or whatever. And it goes on and on.

And at the point at which the crowd is at its most dense, Saeed Hotari screams the name of his god and sets off a bomb packed with shrapnel and ball bearings, immediately killing 22 people-- 23, if we include him-- and injuring hundreds. And the devastation is appalling.
our full equal opportunity. It's that we literally are the shrapnel in these political wars where human lives are being impacted in devastating ways. And it's something that we all ought to care about.
But all I can remember was her lower legs-- blood running down her lower legs. For whatever reason, the shrapnel from the bomb had hit her lower legs, and she had a little bit of blood on our lower legs. I remember my mother.
Optimism is the belief that we can design systems that coast to a gentle stop when they go wrong, instead of exploding and showering all the people around them with white hot shrapnel. And it's the belief that once they've posted to a stop, we can get them started again.
they just constantly do these bombing missions. And they roll 55-gallon drums filled of jet fuel and shrapnel-- metal shrapnel-- out of the back of prop planes. So you want to talk about precision bombing?
if you get into a foxhole-- and there's foxholes everywhere-- you're good. Because as long as you're not in the path of the shrapnel, then you're OK. And the dust settles and people come up.
That's exactly what Joe Johnston now has at his back as his boss Jeff Davis goes out to take a look.

And I came across a book that he had written called "The Man with the Shattered World," and it was a story of a Russian soldier who, in 1943 in the battle of Smolensk, had a shrapnel wound to a part of his brain in the left hemisphere, very localized wound.

And the dust settles and people come up. And the people are so resilient, they actually grab parts of the shrapnel and use them for farming tools. That's kind of how resilient the Nubans are.
The universe is a dynamic entity so when people talk about the expanding universe, they always imagine that there was this big bang, there was a bomb that exploded at the beginning of everything and the galaxies are sort of like shrapnel moving out. That is completely wrong.
about how, "Once the war's over, we got to start buying. Now, we're using all of our metal for shrapnel -- for bullets and stuff -- after the war is over, it's going to be for a dishwashers.” And advertisers used that kind of language too.

X-rays are shot out of exploding stars, black holes, galaxy clusters, and other high-energy events.
