That's one thing I've been wondering about. We've only heard about 2 deaths in the bus bombing. There must be more than that, given the pictures.

Speaking of pictures, It seems as if few are being released. I suspect that is being done to make it easer to suppress the pictures as they had to been done with 9-11.

Some of those poor folks are going to be hard to count.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were many more than two deaths, however, enclosed structures like busses and airplanes suffer much worse effects than many other things. in the cases of buses, this is because the blast force is applied to the whole surface area of the roof, and buses are not designed to hold in that type of force - even if it were only a few pounds per square inch. Once a point lets loose, the whole top gets pealed off.

Hard to see how many people would make it out without at least serious injury.

It's probably a matter of wanting time to contact relatives before confirming the fatalities.

We need a picture of that building to be seen on the front page of every paper in the world.
