I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

I think a good common one is explosions that throw people at least 10 feet without killing them. If the shockwave is strong enough to do that, isn’t it strong enough to tenderize and completely disable all of your internal organs as well?

Myth Busters did that one. Even attaching big sail to a dummy, the shockwave is so thin that you can't catch much momentum at all.

Plus if it’s military, it’s usually the shrapnel that kills you, not the shockwave. Fuel-air devices are a different story

I think you are probably right but I always imagine it like wind in a sail. It's strong enough to push a ship but not rip the sail due to surface area. I can at least pretend that's the case. 😆
