The video of man's insanity and brutality that will haunt everyone of us for the rest of our lives
THE FULL HORROR of the blast was captured in a home video filmed just seconds after the blast.
As the smoke begins to clear, the dramatic scenes are revealed - with people lying amid the rubble on the road while hundreds struggle away from the area, covered in blood.
Many hundreds more people can be seen stood in shock - bewildered and terrified by the scenes taking place in front of them.
Then the amateur video depicts the horrific search for loved ones and friends.
One young girl is seen frantically asking the cameraman if he has seen her mother. A distraught mother helps her son away from the scene - his face covered in blood. A shopworker is seen looking around frantically for help as she tries to assist a woman lying on the ground badly injured, clutching her head in pain.
A businessman stands in the middle of the rubble, his white shirt is covered in blood and he is clutching his face, injured in the blast.
The road is littered with bodies and rubble as people rush around trying to help. The sound of sirens blasts in the background and the first emergency service officers arrive at the scene.
Two women are seen walking out of the smoke, clinging on to each other for support and still holding their shopping bags. Both are huddled over as they try to check on each other's wounds and walk away from the area where the bomb went off.
Three young girls cling to each other amid the debris as people look around, holding their heads in disbelief.
The body of a victim is carried from the scene.
