Footage shows explosions in Istanbul suicide bomber attack — VIDEO

Footage shot by a passenger at the arrivals terminal of Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport shows divider panels blown off their hinges, exposed electric circuits and dangling ceiling fixtures after gun-and-bomb attacks that killed 41 people and wounded hundreds.

In the video after Tuesday night’s attack, a Turkish fireman walks past the motionless body of a man lying face up, most of his right arm missing, near a Turkcell phone stand. Police and investigators carrying crackling radios examine the scene, where a few dazed passengers remain, weaving their way through scraps of debris littered over a bloodied floor.

The footage shows what appears to be at least two other apparently lifeless bodies in the same hall, and five men pushing a cart on which they have placed another seemingly lifeless person.

Turkish officials have blamed the attack on the Islamic State group.
