Wouldn't a bomb hitting close enough just make the bricks likely to collapse onto the statue and cause damage? 🤔

If the bomb hit close enough to directly damage the bricks, it was gonna damage the statue anyway. This is for when a bomb hit close enough to and debris flying towards the statue, so that the bricks take the damage instead.
