290310 - a day to remember

just a few hours ago, a tragedy happened in the heart of Moscow. 2 suicide bombers, female to be exact, bombed 2 different metro stations in Moscow. from the latest news, 37 innocent souls were killed and dozens were injured. Metro station Park Kultury and Lubyanka (arrowed)

# google 'Moscow Metro Map' for bigger image

the first bomb went off at 7.52am at Lubyanka station, the very heart of Moscow. just miles away from Kremlin, where Red Square is. and also, just miles away from where we have our Anatomy and Histology classes. at 8.39am, another bomb blasted another station along the same line, Park Kultury station. around 12-15 people died at the scene.

the explosions occured during rush hours,where tonnes of people take the early metro to work, classes (like us) etc etc etc..

let the pictures tell the story..

# CCTV images after the bombing

# firefighters arrived crime scene immedietly

# due to the over-congested streets around the bombing sites, helicopters were used to carry the injured to the nearest hospital

# stampede turning back from crime scene

# police and firefighters keeping everything under control

# the casualties

the people of Moscow were great, they neither panic-ed nor created any havoc, for which the terrorists wanted. everything was calm and taken care of.

and for the ones who lost their loved ones in today's tragedy, may their Souls, be Rested In Peace..
