Franco Aleman has links to the just-released surveillance video of the bombs going off on the Spanish trains. Good thing that can't happen here...*cough*
...Be warned: not gory, but extremely, extremely disturbing. You can see the three blasts (the third one is specially big). Later, while police and paramedics where assisting the wounded, there was an alert because somebody thought that another artifact was going to blow up (something that in the end didn't happen, fortunately).
And that's precisely the most unsettling moment, at least the one that impressed me most: seeing all those doctors and policemen leaving the wounded and running away to shield themselves from what they thought was going to be another explosion, leaving the wounded unattended...
It's a chilling video because the passengers were milling around and clearly couldn't imagine it getting worse when the third bomb goes off.
