"the first report of human bone fragments acting as foreign bodies in a blast injury".

They are correct in one respect: there are no recent reports in the medical literature of such. There are however many (anecdotal, if not published) reports from Vietnam, Korea and WWII of this phenomenon.

I personally cared for two instances. Both from dynamite accidents. ("Bubba, hold muh beer whist I light the fuse. Hey y'all watch this!")
