From all of the stills and video I've seen from Oslo today, I expect this to define "aftermath" in my memory of the downtown blast. As is so often the case in compelling video footage, it's the audio that delivers much of the emotional punch.

Chilling.
Stokes, you got that right. Hollywood can't do this sort of thing with the kind of impact I felt from this clip. And, yes, the audio makes the footage work. So quiet, just crunching footsteps. No Foley work here, just cold hard reality, and a foreign voice commenting. I especially noticed how soon after this video was taken, because the sirens aren't heard for quite a while.
A reverse 911? Totally unnerving....Ribbit.
