VIDEO: The Exact Moment of the Deadly Bombing of Kabul Captured by a Security Cam

It seems that footage of the bomb attack in Kabul has surfaced. This attack took place near the German embassy in the middle of Kabul and killed more than 150 people.

The attack is thus the deadliest single attack that has happened in the country since 2001 when the United States of America invaded the Taliban.

According to edition.cnn.com, moments after a massive suicide bomb ripped through Kabul’s diplomatic quarter on Wednesday, two local journalists rushed through the clouds of black smoke and burning cars to document the devastation on video before first responders arrived on the scene.

Blood trickled down the face of 1TV Afghanistan’s Sohail Sediqi as he spoke into his phone camera: “We have come here to help, but there is no one else, not even the police to help.”

“Look, there is no one to help. Everyone has fled the area,” said Sediqi, surrounded by the dust and debris and bodies of the dead.
The bomb, which went off during rush hour, killed at least 90 people and wounded 400, according to Afghanistan’s Government Media Information Center.

The blast, which came just a few days into the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, is one of the deadliest to hit the war-weary capital in recent years.

The streets were packed with commuters, women shopping and children going to school.

The studios of 1TV Afghanistan, only about 100 meters away from the site of the explosion, were all but destroyed. Windows fell from the walls, doors came off the frames and much of the equipment was badly damaged.

It was left in such bad shape that “you would have thought the explosion happened inside the office,” the station’s owner, Fahim Hashimy, told CNN.

Still, the station remained on air. “It was a bit of a miracle to be honest,” Hashimy said.

The station is no stranger to security situations, having been previously threatened by the Taliban, according to Hashimy.

Within an hour and a half, the team improvised a set out of the damage in its studio, and they broadcast their first news program since the blast. It included footage gathered by Sediqi from Kabul’s ground zero.

“If we didn’t go on air with the news then the Islamic State, or whoever did it, would be very happy,” Hashimy said.

By Wednesday evening, no group had claimed responsibility for the attack. The investigation is still on going but the explosives which were used appear to have originated in Pakistan. Afghanistan has alleged Pakistani involvement but these accusations were denied by Islamabad.

It seems that no one there is safe and no matter how hard you try to mind your own business you can die just about any day because of countless attacks from all sides. No matter how hard you try to protect yourself there is no knowing what is going to happen next.

It’s all a matter of being at the wrong time at the wrong place and that’s all it takes to lose your life or a loved one.
