AlxAmg, there was no other damage because it wasn't likely a direct hit on the side body of the vehicle. If it was, there would be pretty extensive damage though the passengers may still survive depending if the armouring was strong enough. There was a heavy dose of luck in that escape. Almost all of the damage was in the front engine bay. It looks like it missed the passenger compartment totally. Even the best armoured vehicles will show damage from direct hit from an IED.
