April 24, 2008: Bomb Damage
 

We hear about terrorist suicide/homicide bombers, all the time.
We hear the locations, the number of victims and occasionally some pundits guess as to who and why.
There might even be a poignant picture of blood stained victims or sobbing kin.
Cut to commercial, promising the five day forecast, if you stay tuned.

But did you ever wonder what the victims actually felt?
X-Rayproject.Org, will show you.

Bodies riddled with nuts, bolts, screws and nails.

Or somebody's watch embedded in a neck.

This is why so many die, even with medical attention. First aid, won't do.

sometimes I wonder about you, Bruce . . .

Horrible.
But strangely beautiful.

And how poignant that as a species we are developed enough to see inside eachother's bodies - I mean how magical is that?! - and yet we also use intelligence to figure out the maximum damage explosives and metal can do to human flesh.

if you look at it from an artistic point of view rather than bodies riddled with random objects, its beautiful.

unfortunately, it is bodies riddled with random objects. lets mutiny

I don't get the beautiful comments. Chicago at night was beautiful. These grainy black and white images with random junk in them contain information and are interesting, but I wouldn't call any of them beautiful. Not trying to pick a fight or anything. I'm just sayin'. :)

That's just nuts.

and bolts

Last thing the guy heard was WATCH OUT!

Someone had a loose screw.

The first one of you, that posts a recipe, is in trouble.:cool:

The last thing that went through his mind...


A car bumper.

This nut cake recipe is the BOMB!

OK Shawnee, you're in big trouble now, young lady. Report to my room, directly after the liquor store. :eyebrow:

What's your poison? I think I'll have some Dumb and Coke.

Hey what is that in the first picture?

Last thing the guy saw was the burgers on the grill?
