Another incident

Utterly disgusting and more will happen. I was on Westminster Bridge again today and it's only just been reopened. The emotions are still raw and pity the poor patients in St Thomas hospital that overlook the damn place

At least ten people have been killed and dozens more injured after an explosion ripped through a St Petersburg metro station on Monday.

Video footage on social media showed terrified passengers attempting to help the wounded. A huge whole was created in the side of one carriage with mangled metal wreckage strewn around the platform.

"People were bleeding, their hair burned," one eyewitness told LifeNews.

"We were told to move to the exit, because the movement stopped.

"People just fled. My girlfriend was in the next car that exploded. She said that he began to shake. When she came out, she saw that people were mutilated."

Where did the explosion occur?

The St Petersburg metro press office said the blast was caused by a shrapnel-loaded explosive device, adding that all stations had been shut down after the incident. The city's airport has also been closed.

According to local media reports, the explosion occurred near Sadovaya and Sennaya Ploshchad stations.

Initial reports said there were two explosions, but a Russian emergency services source later disputed this in an interview with local media.

The home-made explosive device was thought to be equivalent to 200 grams of TNT and was placed on the carriage.

Eyewitness: 'A thundering clap, then smoke, then a strong smell'

"We were riding in the neighboring car, and at that time it was very crowded: all the seats were taken and many were standing," said one eyewitness.

"The explosion went off between stations. There was a thundering clap, followed by a strong smell smell and smoke. We all moved to the opposite end of the wagon, people jammed together and two women passed out.

"This all was happening while the train was still moving, it didn't stop. Everyone got out at Tenologicheskom Institute station. There, we saw that the neighboring wagon was shattered, the windows blown out, no light, blood."

Explosion was act of terror

The Russian authorities have confirmed that the explosion was an act of terror. The suspect is yet to have been identified.

It comes after Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, offered his condolences to the victims, adding that investigators viewed a "possible terror attack" as one of several reasons behind the incident.

Let's not all rush to the conclusion this was an act of "terrorism."

Typical action from the religion of peace.

11 dead now.

The train conductor possibly saved lives, the committee said, because rather than stop the train after the blast, he continued on to the next station, which allowed passengers to evacuate and rescuers to tend to victims.

I'm thinking of starting an activist group.

What do you think of the name "Mushrooms For Mecca"?

[Sibella]

They had said they thought one of the missing victims was really the suicide bomber because his head was blown off!! But he was a just a victim.

Most videos I've come across are blurred out except 1 on LiveLea and you can see in the train and the persons blown up, their shoulders and head!
