pg 67 of the BRB

"if a transport is destroyed by a ranged attack, the unit that shot it may now assault the now disembarked passengers, if it is allowed to according to the assault rules."

So really? Is the game that awesome? this gives us the ability to blow up the vehicle and if we meet all other conditions of assaulting, we can go after the passengers :-)

That's correct.

Whoa whoa whoa...embarked passengers no longer die instantly when their transport is destroyed? Or am I imagining things?

EDIT - Indeed after consulting thy great BRB, my knowledge of the rules has significantly improved.

ummm, passengers didn't automatically die in 4th edition either unless you had every exit point surrounded.
