It was fairly obvious years ago. People hiding down by the river with their skulls exploded outward. There was also charred bone--but only bone close to the surface, on body parts that would have been exposed to the air. In other words, the air was so hot that it dried the outside of the body and then burned off layers of skin and flesh down to some bone, but not the entire skeleton.

It would have been an instant death following a moment of truly intense pain.
