"Drake Melson, University College freshman, said he went past a police barricade and saw a bomb robot near the bench where the bomb had detonated.
“What I saw from the video feed from the bomb robot was pretty graphic. Just imagine someone who was wearing pants and seeing nothing from the waist up. It was really disturbing,” he said."
Ye gods and little fishes. That's the guy whose email addy I posted earlier today. I had debated about writing him, because he said he had photos -- but also said he had seen some shocking things. Now we know what it was.
And after reading what he saw, I cannot fathom what the first student meant when he said he was the closest person to Hinrichs after the blast and "could see that he was dead."
I mean, if half his body isn't there at all, isn't "possibly dead" the ultimate in understatement?
There was a scene like that in the movie Catch-22 years ago that still gives me the creeps to think about it--and I didn't even actually see it, I covered my eyes.
Dear me, this poor guy's family.
Oh, I finally found a definitive statement about Hinrichs' depression and treatment in that latest OU Daily story:
~~~~~~~~
"... “He was a very private individual,” said his father, Joel Hinrichs Jr. “I knew he had gone through several severe bouts of depression, but I never saw this coming.”
He said his son had been going to counseling at Goddard Health Center but was having trouble finding optimism in his life. ..."
