An explosion at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport killed several people today.

Sergei Markin of the Investigative Committee confirmed reports of the explosion at the busiest of the city’s three commercial airports, but said he had no further details.

Russian news agencies said the blast was inside the airport’s international arrivals hall.

I believe it's been reported as a suicide bomb attack.

Because "RT Live" isn't video...it's what, "Visual Audio"...or something?

I thought baggage reclaim is a secure area, only arriving passenger and staff allowed.

Some major security flaw there.

:eek:

jackiebaron · 24-01-2011 03:55PM

What will the powers that be use this for now?
Iris and full body scanners just to get into the airport followed by extending the program to schools, theatres, train stations?

Sykk · 24-01-2011 03:56PM

Please refrain from stupid jokes guys,.. This is a serious tragedy.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

Wolfe Tone · 24-01-2011 03:56PM

How on earth did they get in?

Shocking stuff

I know nothing about the regions politics, whats the reason for the attack?

Depends on the airport and the origin of the flight. Many airports put baggage reclaim in a public place for internal flights because there's no need for customs and such.

In Vegas our limo driver met us at baggage reclaim...standing beside the carousel (honeymoon, hence the limo

). You could just walk in off the street and into baggage reclaim.

the bomb died?

That is usually the result of a bomb explosion alright.

24-01-2011 03:58PM

Im wondering why airport is still open? Thats weird is it not?

Im watching RT live now, and the airport still seems to be functioning.

scratch that, they just said all staff going home.

Crikey, he must have a contact in Reuters as this is on their website. I'm only sorry I'm post 24.

A suicide bomber is believed to have been behind the attack, the Interfax news agency reported.

An official with the investigators, Tatyana Morozova, told the Interfax news agency that the blast happened in the baggage claim area and was most likely the result of Brian Cowen and the Irish Governments failed economic policies.

Then you step outside the door and realise just how heavenly air conditioning really is.

RIP to the victims.

If I was an anti-regime journalist in Russia I'd be thinking about a holiday..

ejmaztec · 24-01-2011 04:02PM

It was either the Chechens looking for attention, or the Russian security service being responsible so that they can blame it on the Chechens and give them another kicking.

Your location is very suitable for this type of comment

A bomb goes off killing many people, probably innocent civilians, and your reaction is a Nineteen Eighty-Four-style civil liberties over-the-top reaction :rolleyes:

They should give Russia a world cup.....oh wait!!
