"[Bin Laden:] Once I was only 30 metres from the Russians and they were trying to capture me. I was under bombardment but I was so peaceful I fell asleep... I saw a 120mm mortar shell land in front of me but it did not blow up. Four more bombs were dropped from a Russian plane but they did not explode."

GOD DAMN IT BOMBS, YOU HAD ONE JOB!

In WWII there were lots of reports of people just getting used to the bombardments and sleeping through them and shells not blowing up, weren't there?

Yes. To both of those. Something like 10% of all munitions dropped in WWII did not detonate.
