Here is link to actually download RAW video to hard drive

[JasonBerry]

This is the CBS news RAW video of the explosion.

This is a link to the actual .rm file - NOT the .ram file.

To download to your hard drive, just right click on link and "save target as..." and save wherever you want on your drive. Be warned: It is GRAPHIC. But, it shows the force of the bomb. It is also a LARGE file (30mb).....

1. Thanks for the link...unfortunately I have dialup.....would take half

a day. ;-(

[virtualobserver]

2. when you say graphic, how bad is it?

not blown off limbs and agonizing screams, I hope

[Ein]

3. Blood smeared people walking around

At one point they are carrying someone who doesnt look very living around. Not for the weary.

[amish_enforcer]

4. Alot of bloodied people

and as another poster mentioned one guy who DOESN'T look good at all

[rabid_nerd]

5. thank you...

right before lunch, but this won't be scrubbed

6. man...

that was pretty bad...

lot's of bloodied people...the one guy at the end looked gone...no hope for some of them...

for those who haven't seen it yet...there's no flying body parts or anything...just a lot of people that are bloody from flying debris...

that's just terrible...

7. 5 min and 10 secs of hell. Needs to air on prime time news, all 5+10.

"GET THAT GODDAMN THING OFF!" a man yells in American English, talking about the camera. Could it be someone who doesn't want us seeing that Bu$h's little war is far from over? Could it be someone who realized that this video will not play well with Bu$h's voice overlayed taunting, "Bring 'em on!"? Symbolman?

Better archive this video before it disappears forever. Verb sap.

On edit: I just watched it again. What a hell of a blast. I wonder if Bu$h has seen it.

13. No ...

I think it's someone who is trying to respect the privacy of those injured without making them camera-fodder for tonight's news.

Think about it, if some kids had just been hit by a car out the front of your house and your neighbor was there video taping it ... would you be wondering why he was ghoulishly taping it instead of helping?

I don't object in any way the media's right to report news ... my guess is this guy's request is an appeal for dignity and humanity.

[DemoTex]

14. Maybe ... maybe not.

I thought about that before I posted. That's why I left it open. After reviewing the audio again, I think it was probably neither of the above. It is just a guy who doesn't like the media. But who the hell knows?

[JasonBerry]

16. By the way - have to respect your guts

It is HARD to be a Democrat in most of Texas. But, it is Texas where you seem to find some of the most committed Democrats and some of the most courageous. My hat is off to you. Keep up the fight!

8. Kick

:kick:

[Caution]

9. Truly horrific

Amazing that people have the courage day in and day out to be there. Stuff like this needs to be shown to the American people so we can actually know the truth about what is happening over there.

10. What were they taping....

before the blast--some kind of press conference? Jesus, I've never seen anything like this....

[John_H]

11. I wonder if the guy who screams "God bless America" at 4:41

was being a tad sarcastic.

[JasonBerry]

12. I think that's more like it

"God bless America".....(at 4:41)

I imagine that was the thinking of a lot of people in that room at that moment.
