FNC: NEW VIDEO OF MADRID BOMBINGS

10-19-04

[cgk]

New video being shown - security cameras at the Madrid train stations from March 11th - mass panic as a blast goes off out of camera view - then a blast directly in the camera.

[cgk]

One of the scariest things I've ever seen.... you see people running.. and then they are gone in a huge blast of red.

[cgk]

Will try to get some screen shots.. stand by.

[MikefromOhio]

Oh my God.......

[cripplecreek]

It's one heck of a campaign ad for Mr Bean.

[RoseofTexas]

Ah, geez folks, NOTHING to see here, move along the terrorists were only a NUISANCE that day...DAMN SOB skerry!! If Lurch is elected COUNT on a terror attack on our soil!!

[eureka!]

Exaggerated Nuisance caught on tape. Film at 11:00. Blessings for the innocents and their families...

[stockpirate]

OMG, just wwatched it. Shows people running right in front of the camera and then a big ball of fire and smoke, blast is maybe 25 feet from camera.

an escalator leaving a crowded platform at Atocha railway station already shrouded in smoke from a previous explosion. 191 people
were killed in the March 11, 2004 Madrid, train bombings which have been blamed on Muslim militants linked to al-Qaida.

Maybe Americans will wake up and remember 9/11...

[MikefromOhio]

Why would there be a link? Its on the news channel itself....

[willgolfforfood]

I thought it was maybe an MPEG on their news website. I don't have access to a TV at work...

[BagCamAddict]

(Hard to believe this when you're in IRAQ and YOU have Fox News.... but not all of us back at home have Cable or Satellite TV.... including me... so screen captures or links to video clips on websites are all we get... ;-)

[MikefromOhio]

:)

We stream Fox and CNN over the network...AFN sports too.....

[cgk]

THANK YOU!! I had to manually run it, and then my FTP was down. Grr.

[MikefromOhio]

I dont know if you want to see it....its pretty gruesome....

[BagCamAddict]

Can I come over and watch?? ;-)

Seriously... any jobs for a Geologist in Iraq?

[July 4th]

Looks awful. I'll have to catch it at home tonight. What a pesky nuisance, those bombs.

[cgk]

What the... pics are out of wack. sorry!

[July 4th]

Thank you for the still shots.

[cgk]

Sorry they came out so poorly. (...miserable failure?.. hah).

[Betis70]

Yikes. I've been in that train station, waiting for the high-speed AVE down to Seville.

Wish the Spanish hadn't gone wobbly on us, but I guess the population was always against the Iraq war, so it shouldn't surprise me.

[July 4th]

That first one from the wire service is amazing. Explosions go from ignition to fireball in a split second - sometimes shorter than can even be captured on 30 frame/sec video. But it looks like the security camera caught one frame that was the exact moment of ignition. Pray for all of those lost, and pray for this nation - so that we will not make a decision in two weeks that makes these events more likely.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

A very ghastly and cowardly attack upon civilians. Too bad Spain's Socialists surrendered to the terrorists.

[MikefromOhio]

I dont know.....

I doubt it though... :)

[Travis McGee]

Just a nuisance, move along folks.

[ican'tbelieveit]

You don't think so? Wouldn't you help find water sources, oil sources, something?

[JennyG]

I think Spain essentially surrendered by voting out José María Aznar, thereby giving Al Qaeda the victory they were seeking. It was complete and total capitulation.

[cgk]

A video grab taken from security camera footage of a bomb exploding in Atocha railway station in Madrid on March 11, 2004. The Madrid train bombings killed 191 people last March which have been blamed on Muslim militants linked to al Qaeda. This security camera footage was made available October 19, 2004

[cgk]

from the time stamp - the picture just above is the earliest blast - the one that caused the initial panic I saw on the video.

[RetiredArmy]

Big blast. Spanish vote socialist. Big blast. USA votes socialist. Big blast. England votes socialist. See a patter developing here?

[mountaineer]

Too bad Spain's Socialists surrendered to the terrorists.

How true. They should have responded with anger and resolve - like most Americans (and most certainly, President Bush) did to a terrorist attack on their own soil. Instead, they cowered and surrendered. I never thought the Spanish would sink to the level of the French ...

[marktuoni]

I'm not so sure about that pattern with regards to the USA...remember, post 9/11, conservatives have attained quite a bit of power!

[NetSurfer]

Maybe the Spanish will get a freakin' CLUE and STHU about Bush, too.

[rabidralph]

I question the timing of the release of this video.

[Truth666]

Why were these images not shown immediately after ???

[RetiredArmy]

Not much. The republicans in the Senate are still weak kneed and haven't done a lot in my humble opinion. Our boarders remain wide open. Illegals continue to pour in. That means the bad guys are pouring in. They ain't exactly stupid. You see open door, you walk in. That is fairly easy.

[unspun]

Your friendly, neighborhood, unholy, Jihadist-Globalist Alliance at work....

[cgk]

There is some speculation about why this video wasn't released until now - there has been a lot of activity this week in Madrid re: terror... apparently they ID'd the ringleader (dead), and also prevented an attack on Madrid's high court.. this may be evidence to justify any action? (action of what, I don't know.)

[cgk]

They are also having hearings about the bombings...

Wouldn't you help find water sources, oil sources, something?

Yes, both of those, but also WMD... During the first three weeks of the war I tried to volunteer to go over and help look. I work in the Environmental field... doing subsurface soil and groundwater investigations. We specifically LOOK for buried chemicals, etc. I know how to use Ground Penetrating Radar, chemical sniffer equipment, etc., and I know how to investigate areas that just "don't look right." Remember the story from yesterday where the ING had our guys keep looking after they had found several caches of buried weapons because it "didn't look right" to the Iraqis? That's the kind of thing I specialize in.

I still believe there is alot of ground over there to cover in looking for buried stuff... and I wish I could be there doing just that.

[ican'tbelieveit]

I am right there with you. I am finding other ways to volunteer, support our troops. But I keep feeling like there is something more I could be doing.

[Texaggie79]

Checked ogrish. It's on there. Pretty brutal..

[wayoverontheright]

I have been saying from the beginning that these bombings were the work of the socialists in Spain. My reasons were:

The socialists had the most to gain...

This was a REMOTE DETONATION, al-Qaida would have had a lot to lose with conducting a martyr-less attack, as these attacks are seen as cowardly even within the Arab street....

The blinding speed at which the investigation found a note, connected dots, and rounded up perps....

It is now apparent that at the very least a faction connected to Zapatero's minions was involved, and Moroccan terrorists who claim to be followers of bin-Laden have been charged, but for me, the jury's still out. See http://barcepundit-english.blogspot.com/, he's hot on the trail.

[cgk]

That link you just put up... bombing video link on this page, has a link to the madrid train bombing video they've been showing on the news this morning...

[cgk]
