I was unclear in reading the article it said 3 m, does the writer mean 3 meters or 3 miles. Sorry if that seems like a stupid statement. Apparently this attack comes on the heels of a previous bombing that injured 50!
[quote]Thai police say 24 people have been injured in a bomb explosion at a hospital in Bangkok.
The bombing at Phramongkutklao Hospital, which is popular with retired military officers, took place on the third anniversary of a 2014 military coup.
"It was a bomb. We found the pieces that were used to make the bomb," Kamthorn Aucharoen, commander of the police's explosive ordnance team, said.[/spoiler]

"The deputy commissioner of the Royal Thai Police said investigators found traces of batteries and wires at the blast site and that the blast radius was up to 3m."
This was the bombing of a hospital. The "m" refers to meters.
A bomb with a blast radius of 3 miles would have killed, not merely injured, every last person in that hospital, not just those 24, leveled the building it was detonated in, and likely taken out much of the city. Bombs with blast radii measured in miles are, in fact, atomic or nuclear bombs, with perhaps 1 notable exception.
In fact, to put things in to better perspective, read what is said about the world's largest NON-nuclear bomb:
God! I just looked up and up the front page of this forum, and I swear, nearly half of the topics are about terrorist attacks. How sad and depressing.
I hope everyone's able to pull through. If any good can come from this, I hope it's given the victims a new appreciate of, and love for, life, and they live out very happy lives.
