   I've been reading this thread for some time. The only _external_
building damage seen was the blown-out windows. Now, there were _no_
windows within the vault area, so two rather inconsistent assumptions arise:

      1) The blast was so fierce that it blew out windows in another room,
         or even perhaps another floor. This seems to indicate that no-one
         could really have survived.
   
      2) Del Midler's glasses blew out of the window. If we take into account
         the slow speed at which _he_ moves, could he have got out of the
         vault area in time?

   If Del managed to get out of the vault area, can we assume that
everyone else (with the probable exception of Audrey) got out too? Two
conclusions are thus produced:

      1) The blast shown occured _later_ than it appeared ie there was a
         considerably longer time between the discovery of the bomb and
         the explosion

      2) Either that, or Lynch buggered up the continuity something rotten.
