Shock. Your body will automatically go into shock from injury like that. It's automatic, you have no control over it.

Stop the bleeding, keep them warm. You can see tourniquets applied.

I've suffered a catastrophic injury to a limb (not as catastrophic as that poor guy), and I can tell you that there's very little pain. It hurts, but not in the devastating way you'd think. More like a big block of ice that throbs and aches. Back when my injury occurred the docs explained it by saying that the brain doesn't transmit pain over a certain level, because it doesn't do you any good.
 
I'm in lower Manhattan NYC and I'm constantly hearing sirens out my window now. No doubt there's a precautionary measure in place to comb the city just in case. And here I am numb to the fact that this is just the world we live in. :\

A team of Newtown parents who were running the Marathon in tribute to the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre are reportedly safe.

i was watching a show about military paramedics. PJ's i think what they called them. anyway they deal with such injuries and said the pretty much same. the body just wont' transmit such injuries. people can be mentally ok (for a while) even with both legs shredded.

Didn't say it made it better. Just found it interesting that they were there.
 
the jfk incident seems to be a coincidental fire in the machine room of a new buildng, not a bomb.

Been keeping an eye on it. The media doesn't really have a clue what's going on right now. Best to wait until the press conference at 7pm EST.
