Its horrific, really tragic stuff and more mutilated than dead it seems.

Photo 8 definitely deserves the warning, its gruesome. They originally posted it without even blurring the chaps face :disappointed:

Just reported already 8/9 amputations carried out. I think they said there were ball bearings in the explosion. Injury count rumoured to be up to 50 so far and expected to rise.

Nige that photo is horrible - that poor poor man.

pretty sick that photos of victims get posted by news sites potentially before worried relatives/loved ones even get informed

You think that's bad.  You should see the Spanish news coverage.  Lens as close to the blood, bodies and carnage as they can possibly get.
The coverage of the barcelona bombing was truly horrific.
