its a good thing i didnt go anywhere today, and my friend overslept today before going to work so that might have saved him.
at 7 am In moscow a female suicide bomber blew up a train on a red line of the metro (sucks because it was one was one of those special edition trains with custom paintjob). 45 minutes later another train was blown up on the same line also by a female terrorist suicide bomber. Both attacks claimed 38 lives RIP and 60-80 were wounded. The entire red line was closed down, 150 buses free of charge were assigned to compensate for the closed down metro line. After the attacks, most of the subway traffic went above ground in fear that there are gonna be more bombings. this caused an epic traffic jam in the entire center of the city during rush hour which at this time is already overloaded. most people walked because its faster than standing in a traffic jam, some people volonteered to give rides to people for free. but the taxi drivers jacked up their prices x5 of the usual. People paid 100 dollars for 4 kilometers most of which was spent in a traffic jam. After the first bomb went off, everyone started calling the relatives which overloaded the cellphone traffic so eventually nobody could get throgh to anyone because all communications were out of service, which made people worry.
Some people like my friend decided to use the subway anyway because the traffic above ground was overloaded, the security today was very tight, cops with bomb sniffing dogs everywhere. Overall this was handled in a very organized manner the ambulance work was quick in efficient (kinda surprising for this country, the ambulance services normally suck and get complains all the time)There was absolutley no panic, people stated to help each other before the help arrived. They think this attack is a retaliation of chechen separatists after a recent operation which wiped out most of the big seperatist leaders that claimed responsibility for the Nevsky express train bombing last year (november i think). This is actually not the first time the moscow metro was bombed. In 1974 and 1976 it was bombed by some armenian liberation front organization, then in 1996, 1998, 2004, 2006, 2008, and today in 2010 were all bombed first by chechen speratists, then by other islam extremist groups in southwestern russia. in total it was bombed 10 times. Other than that, we had alot of other terrorist attacks in recent 20 years.
soo rip for everyone who died today and soory for my grammar.
dont hate people who rip you off,cheat and get away with it, learn from them
