Wow! Well, luckily, the 100 feet or so the president was from the grenade is well out of wound-casualty radius. Kill-radius is about 15 feet, wound-radius is about 45 feet.
Nonetheless: Too close for comfort!

What kind of damage would/could a grenade explosion cause at 100 feet?

A bad-luck bit of schrapnel COULD put an eye out, but for handheld grenades, commonly accepted wound radius's are 45 feet.

What kind of damage would/could a grenade explosion cause at 100 feet? Chance a sliver could take an eye out.

What kind of damage would/could a grenade explosion cause at 100 feet?It probably wouldn't have harmed President Bush, but an awful lot of people in the crowd would have been killed and injured.
"Failed to function" - I can already hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from DU and the MSM.

Silly terrorists.
Don't they know they're supposed to test each grenade first in a secluded area surrounded only by their closest friends?
To: M. Thatcher
Thank God the thing did not kill and/or injure anyone!
To: M. Thatcher
The single hand grenade that exploded in Manila Philippines sent their new democracy into dictatorship around 1969. Ferdinand Marcos used the explosion as an excuse for imposition of martial law. His ulimate murder political enemy NINOY Aquino spelled his final doom. Ending nearly 20 years of terror and exploitation....
