CCTV footage from the lobby of Jakarta, Indonesia's Ritz-Carlton Hotel, showing one of the suspected bombers, was aired on several local television stations before getting picked up by western outlets. The footage depicts a man carrying a suitcase into the lobby and out of the frame, just an instant before an explosion tears through the area covered by the camera.

Two people were killed in the Ritz-Carlton blast, while seven were killed in the Mariott blast.
