I haven't yet been able to properly internalize the horror of this scene. Maybe because we're exposed to so many images from disaster and action movies/videogames, I got somewhat desensitized to the "graphics", so to speak. It's like my brain is denial.
At the same time, I know this is real and a tragedy in an unimaginable scale. Every "little walking figure" is a full human being with dreams, fears and a rich life story.
I'm afraid that at one point it will just hit me super hard.

CCTV footage is there. Horrific scene. When you see it coming at you it’s already too late.
It's awful to see dozens of people running and knowing they're all gone. It wasn't even close. They were so small compared to that absolute FORCE.
The CCTV footage was one of the most heartbreaking things I have seen on the internet lately.
It makes me think a bit of the Johnstown flood from 1889:
