Don't know how the driver survived; he opens door and gets out of the taxi at about 15 second mark (after the KA-BLOOEY that blows out vehicle windows):


Cab driver picked up fare just before 11 a.m. Sunday in Liverpool, England.
[There has been speculation in the UK that the passenger, who had an IED, actually wanted to go to a Remembrance Day event at a local cathedral with a large crowd of people.]
Taxi driver got suspicious of the man and may have locked the suspect inside the back of the vehicle.
Video shows the taxi come screeching up in front of Liverpool Women's Hospital as the device went off.
Only fatality was the suicide bomber.
After raiding the location where suspect made the device British government raised their terror alert level, they believe an attack is "highly likely."
Cab driver wasn't badly hurt.
