1. OMG!!!

[riversedge]

7. one second you are milling about, the next you

are blown to bits. Incomprehensible to live under those conditions.

[2naSalit]

2. Insane.

[freshwest]

3. That fireball... Then either the ground or the camera shook. Awful. n/t

[loudsue]

4. There is one person running TOWARD the entrance...comes from the right side of the bldg.

They knew a loved one was inside....my guess.

8. Incredibly brave.

Secondary explosions are not terribly unusual. Highly risky to rush in, after a bomb.

9. But rushing toward where it exploded is probably safer - anything that detonates with that

force is probably going to detonate anything nearby. The secondary would likely be a distance away, designed to get at the crowd around it, but far enough away to avoid being set off by the first one.

So moving nearer to ground zero, as that person was, and from where they were, is probably as good a direction to go as any, since they would have no idea where any secondary device might be. Could have been in the parking lot, in the wall nearby, in another room...but not likely in the blast zone of the first one.

10. What a world it becomes for ordinary citizens to have to figure that kind stuff out.

[jtuck004]

11. I know, huh. A friend and I actually discussed this, thinking about

our response as medics in a casualty situation.

But yeah, what you said.

[SoapBox]

5. Ugh...

Sickening.

6. Terrible...nt
