Wow! Well, luckily, the 100 feet or so the president was from the grenade is well out of wound-casualty radius. Kill-radius is about 15 feet, wound-radius is about 45 feet.

Nonetheless: Too close for comfort!

What kind of damage would/could a grenade explosion cause at 100 feet?

Silly terrorists.

Don't they know they're supposed to test each grenade first in a secluded area surrounded only by their closest friends?

The single hand grenade that exploded in Manila Philippines sent their new democracy into dictatorship around 1969. Ferdinand Marcos used the explosion as an excuse for imposition of martial law. His ulimate murder political enemy NINOY Aquino spelled his final doom. Ending nearly 20 years of terror and exploitation....

I'm actually surprised this doesn't happen more often. Even with security as tight as it is, it amazes me there aren't more close calls.

The grenade, wrapped in a dark handkerchief, fell about 100 feet from the podium where Bush was speaking May 10 and "simply failed to function," he said.

Prayers of gratitude, and may God keep our President safe from harm.

The grenade "simply failed to function,"

Isn't there something on our money that says In God We Trust. I think we should keep it on our money.

Many people pray for our President every day...

Some of the prayers have been returned with interest...
