I watched that livestream for a while. I like how he was so certain it was a terrorist attack, and how this was his first time.

It could have been a bomb, but an accidental gas explosion is more likely.

It shows the inexperience of a "citizen journalist" as he calls himself. It is owing to lack of formal journalism training.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, it was a very emotional and horrific thing for him to have seen.

There was some of the things he said that stuck with me (as close as I can remember them).

- "There is a guy walking in a daze barefoot through broken glass"

- "That woman over there has no clothes one (ripped off her body by the blast). Someone has given her a coat to put around her."

- "There are people covered in a lot of blood."

AND....to his credit, he was very concerned about not invading their privacy at a very horrible moment, like not showing the woman and the injured.

What he got wrong was only his jumping to a conclusion it was terrorist attack I think.

Do you agree with my assessment?

Good points. I was thinking of CNN types and how they hype everything.
