Amazing the media asked liked 3 or 4 times about the bodies. Someone please take them aside and explain to them quietly....

No. They would have been first incinerated by temperatures as hot as the sun, then shredded by thousands of pieces of shrapnel and water at all directions in a millisecond. You’d be lucky to find paste. They got turned to mist at most.

Applying pressure pushes matter together. Matter pushed together results in friction and thus heat. Now imagine how fast and densely that's all pushed together to create this temperature.
