Re: Bomb Goes Off at News Conference
I'd kinda want to be in a bombing like that, just to see how I'd react. Because I think I'd just be like "omglolwtf O_o" and then see if I could help someone.

Re: Bomb Goes Off at News Conference
i believe this is the related story that goes along with this clip ...if not i just wasted an hour lookin for it :P The explosion occurred while Martin Barber, director of the UN's Mine Action Service (UNMAS) was holding a press conference. The explosion damaged a spinal cord treatment center at the hospital next door and a U.S. Army Civil-Military Operations Centre located at the rear of the Canal Hotel, and the resulting shockwave was felt over a mile away. The blast was caused by a suicide bomber driving a truck bomb. The vehicle has been identified as a large 2002 flatbed Kamaz (manufactured in Eastern Europe and part of the former Iraqi establishment's fleet).[6] Investigators in Iraq suspected the bomb was made from old munitions, including a single 500-pound bomb, from Iraq's pre-war arsenal. |
