Moscow Airport Explosion: What killed all those people?
2011/01/25

Cameras catch moment of explosion...
Question: This killed 35 people and injured a hundred? It was ‘slow,’ relatively low temperature and smallish extent. The frames following this moment show maybe a dozen down and just about everyone else running; certainly not 35 down and 100 wounded.
The scene bears little resemblance to sprawling death of the post-explosion photos shown here.
There’s something about this I don’t understand. Did more people collapse later? Were there other simultaneous bombs? Was this a toxic-spread device?

I think we’re seeing only light reflected off walls, as the explosion itself was around that corner in the baggage area itself. The few seconds of video I saw seemed to indicate that. What I couldn’t understand from the short video I saw was what appeared to be the complete disregard people showed for the dead and wounded who were lying on the floor.
Reflections: seems to answer.
This aloofness bothered me too. No-one seemed to be checking or doing triage or first-aid… it was like a day at the dump. I just don’t get it.
What killed all those people?
Islam.
Very strange how people were treated. They were obviously blown quite a way from the blast, or they were moved, but if they were moved surely they wouldn’t be scattered about randomly, as we saw in the video. Puzzling.
ccoffer – that’s the bottom line.
