Thermobaric bombs create searing heat and vacuum waves. But what about maggots? Do they stand a chance?
💥 The Reality:
- Temperatures can soar beyond 2,000°C—enough to instantly kill larvae on contact.
- But hidden crevices, underground burials, or thermal shadows may shield insect stages.
🔍 Why It Matters:
- Surviving maggots may indicate post-blast colonization.
- Investigators use this data to estimate time of death and blast impact radius.
🧬 Micro Survivors:
- Some maggots in deeper tissue layers or shaded zones may partially survive, becoming vital forensic clues.
When heat scorches everything, biology whispers the truth. 🧠🔥
