APART from blog entries and photos of the Glorietta 2 blast, citizen journalists have also upl
oaded video clips to sites such as YouTube.
Here are two such clips from a concerned citizen that Tonyo
Cruz uploaded to YouTube -- thanks to Tonyo for the heads up.
Here's the first clip.
And here's the second clip.
Here's a c

And here are two clips from inthethickofthings.

Tonyo also blogged about citizen journalism in action in the Glorietta 2 blast
for Global Voices Online.
Here's an excerpt:
Manuel L. Quezon III rounded up first-hand accounts, initial reactions and updates. Als o taking note of furious blogging about the bombing was Blog Addicts. In fact, Inquirer came out with a special site on the incident. Photos of the crime scene or disaster area taken and posted b y Disney Cute Land are now all over the internet, including the frontpage of th e country most popular news website.
C4, a non-commercial explosive component not readily accessible except to the m
ilitary.
And a CR-V. Swanky.
Whoever cause this incident will suffer.
Kawawa naman ang mga civilians. Hirap na ngang gumising sa umaga ng walang almu
sal para makarating sa trabaho.
Paano na lang ang mga iniwang anak ng biktima?
Bakit hindi kayong mga nasa itanaas ang magpatayan?
Yung kapitbahay ko single parent lang kasamang namatay. Tinatanong nung bata sa
akin kung nasaan ang nanay niya.
Kayong mga nasa itanaas hindi niyo ba nakikita? Hindi niyo ba nararamdaman ang
pagiging makatao. Suriin ninyo ang kalagayan ng maliliit upang maiwasan ninyo a
ng trahedyang ganito.
Anong uri ng ginhawa ang gusto ninyo?
It is easy for anyone to lay blame on the Makati blast to any individual or gro
ups. Investigations by authorities should condunct investigation in a much thor
ough manner to avoid becouding the whole truth about the incident. At a time li
ke this, it takes careful investigation without dragging the innocents.
i got to view one of the blogged videos of this incident and saw that it caused
a huge hole on the floor of the lobby entrance of G2. if an explosive device w
as really placed at this point of the complex, the damage would be greater as s
hock waves are radial in nature. it is highly probable that ground zero may be
really located at the basement of the complex. most injuries sustained by the b
last victims were caused mainly by shattered glass and falling debris consequen
tial to the explosion. it might be worthy to note the actual (or at least the g
eneral) locations (before the blast and after) of those who died of the actual
blast (those who have indicative blast burns, etc) to have further clues as to
where and the magnitude of the blast. physics could play a role in determining
this. i just hope that when the basement area is drained off of the accumulated
water (please collect drained water as clues may be actually also there, use a
strainer or something...), ground zero wouldn't be compromised. this way we co
uld know what caused the explosion - accidental, work-related, unsafe industria
l/warehousing practices, terrorist or whatever.
we should resume the Crusades...we should have our own crazy bunch of hardcore
christians and make excuses like it's it's for the faith or some crap like that
and blow all of em away
