    Has a terrorist link been confirmed?

    No, apologies. Just find it unlikely to be anything else.

    Blood would be as a result of the flying glass as much as the bomb, if it was a bomb, fairly low level by the looks of things whatever it was.
    It didn't look like the blood came from cuts or grazes.

    Does anyone else who is watching Sky News think that the footage they just showed was inappropriate?
    Flicked it on twice and off straightaway, no tact.

    Watching BBC myself, haven't reported any dead themselves.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    It's shocking. My brother was in the area, would be shocking to see him there. Poor families could be finding out there loved ones were wounded/killed by pictures on the tv. That's just not right.

    Not to mention a camera recording you.

    News agencies shouldn't have shown him saying that, simples.

    If you were a tourist and wounded, who'd pay your medical bills?
    I'd be terrified getting injured in the States

    Travel Insurance should cover the bill if you ticked the right boxes. Even otherwise you'd get treatment anyway, all you'd have to do is leave the country and they'd never get their money.
