Been a few days already, but I figured I shall post it anyway. I saw the video of what happened on Live-leak, bloody horrible. Also read that the Czech ambassador is dead from the blast too.

According to latest news comming regarding Blast in Islamabad that One US embassy staff was dead in the blast confirmed by White House. 29 foreigners are dead in blast but not yet confirmed by any government official. Still many foreigners are missing in this blast and many injured in hospitals of capital Islamabad.

So far 60 dead and 256 injured in hospitals and rescue teams are still working on blast site as still their is fire in building and fears that may be some peoples are still inside.

The government ordered the army in to help clear away the piles of concrete and debris after the powerful explosion, which left a huge crater, around 20 feet (six metres) deep and 40 feet wide, at the hotel's main entrance.

Interior ministry official Rehman Malik told reporters the government had received word of a possible attack near the parliamentary offices.

?We had intelligence reports two days ago that some incident might take place,? Malik said.

Some reason that pic looks CG. But that's damn horrible. Reminds me of Ghost in the Shell though (terrorists bombing embassies, even though this is a hotel).
 
Thats the first "lol middle east" picture thats actually made me drop my lower jaw in a while, I'm suprised anyone survived that. :O
 
those cars are absolutely destroyed....cripes

holy shit, the bomb must've been huge.
 
There was a video on the BBC News which shows the truck before it blows up.

Rams into the gate, driver sets of a grenade in his cab, then the guards just run around shitting themselves.

To be honest, what the hell do you do when something like that happens.
 
+The NO PARKING ticket on the far left car is untouched.

What if that was a paper on the dash (on the inside).

To me it just looks like the cars are sorta smashed in because of pieces of the building falling on them and dust. Can you see the ground or is it all debris? Probably very hot at the time too.
 
If I were a real jerk I'd photoshop in "wash me" on one of those cars. But I'm not.

I also don't have photoshop.

Yeah, but, if it was me, I would totally have stuck that on there afterwards, just so the guy who owned the car could see that and go: "Oh come *on*! As if my day wasn't bad enough already."

Anyway, erm... what was it? Cause as others have said, that is one big boom.
