Do you know any details on their injuries? Was the broken back a

for the spine injury, but I could be wrong. And what about the other

...it doesn't mention them in the bible...
Then they don't read their Bible (either): Joshua 10:11.
And it came to pass, as they fled before Israel, and werer
in the going down to Beth-Horon, that the Lord cast down
into Azekah great stones from heaven upon them, and
they died...
Also, let's think about how much made it to the ground.
If the numbers are correct, with ~500 kilotons of detonation, and 11,000 metric
tons of mass, and lets say even if 99% vaporized in the explosion, that would
leave 110 TONS of material on the ground! And I certainly do not believe that
