"On other threads (which I can't find anywhere now) it was said that the bomb was on his chest. The collar was attached to it to prevent its removal. In one video there is a big splat on a police cruiser door. I hate to be so graphic but it looks to me like his chest was blown through his back and hit the cop car."

Thanks. I had read his neck. I watched the videos and didn't notice the car door. Will check again.

It's a relatively small point but one that has generated a fair amount of confusion here. Your other points were very incisive. I hadn't noticed the lack of smoke for instance. My wife and I were wondering if Prima-cord (sp?) might have been used. But that is a bit smoky isn't it?
