Amazing stuff.

While it's the worst photograph, the shot taken by the bloke who has just had his legs blown off is incredible.

Great post!

Interesting reading and extremely emotive photography.

The guy holding a severed hand - is that what I think it is in his other hand?

Yes it certainly looks like it.

Fascinating piece. Every shot is both harrowing and outstanding. I've no idea how these people can do it. I struggle to be composed enough to get a good picture if I see a funny dog in the street, never mind getting such incredible shots in a life and death situation.

I think even Youmademerealise can forgive the wonky horizons on that one.
