Moscow Subway Explosions List Of Dead

Moscow has been shattered by early morning subway blasts that killed at least 38 people and injured 65. Although no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, Chechen rebels were suspected to be responsible for the attacks from early on.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MCHS Russia) has posted the list of the dead. However, the MCHS site is currently down, likely due to the volume of traffic in the wake of the attacks as people are trying to find out if their relatives or friends have been affected.

However, some of the Russian news agencies have re-posted the list, saying twenty-two bodies have been identified so far. Sixteen victims remain unidentified. Here is the most up-to-date list with the names of victims in cyrillics.

Meanwhile, subway security has been stepped up in the United States. According to CNN, security on New York, Washington D.C. and Atlanta subway systems has been increased in the wake of Moscow subway bombings "as a precaution." Explosive detection teams and subway police will do station sweeps and random inspections throughout the day. 


Citizen Reports Following Subway Bombings Reveals The Grimness Of The Attacks

A slew of citizen reporting followed the deadly attacks in Russia's capital. 

One of Russian TV channels "Russia Today" posted a compilation of the citizen reports it gathered in the hours after the attacks. One of Russia Today's correspondents was caught up in the incident, shooting the footage of the incident herself. 

This video has been shot by an eyewitness trapped in the crowd of people trying to force their exit from the subway after the bombings.

And, this footage re-posted by news network RiaNovosti shows the general mayhem on the streets of Moscow in the wake of the attacks. 

Russia's citizen reporting hub mreporter.ru has been getting some footage as well.

Hashtag "Moscow" has been trending on Twitter since early morning. However, Russian Twitter users are using "Moscow29" as the official hashtag to discuss and exchange information about the attacks.

Hey there, I really like this update of the videos and such from the Moscow bombings this morning. I had a question for you, though. I know that you aren't technical support for NowPublic, but how did you add a video without using YouTube? I havent been able to figure it out, so I just plug in the video as an embedded object. 

Thanks so much!
