How did Nunnally and Sayoko survive the FLEIJA?


The sheer action of the FLEIJA leaves behind a very neat crater and turns
matter in its radius into a vacuum (airborne units tend to get blown into the
blast center). How did Nunnally and Sayoko survive that?




[This blogpost](http://animehistory.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/theory-of-a-live-
girl-code-geass-spoilers-inside/) adequately explains how she could have
survived. I also do not believe there was as much of a vacuum because at that
point in time the FLEIJAs still had a limiter. It was not until the
destruction of the Capital city of Pendragon that the limiters were removed.
