An explosion in Moscow's busiest airport killed 31 people and 130 wounded, officials said. The Russian President called it a terror attack. "From the preliminary information we have, it was a terror attack," President Dmitry Medvedev told officials in a televised briefing. He ordered authorities to beef up security at Moscow's other airports and the subways, because that is where most of the terror attacks are usually at. "I heard a loud bang, saw plastic panels falling down from the ceiling and heard people screaming. The people then started running away," Lavochkin, who was waiting in the arrivals hall for his for his friend to arrive from Cuba told Rossiya 24 television. Sofia Malyavania, a spokeswoman for the Social Development and Health Ministry, said 31 people were killed 160 wounded and their were 56 ambulances were sent to treat the the victims. "The airport was filled with smoke," Sofia Malyavania said on Rossiya 24. This is the first attack involving a Russian airport since 2004 when two suicide bombers, were able to board planes at Domodedovo by buying tickets illegally from airport personnel. This attack killed all 90 people aboard the two flights. The last terror attack in Moscow was last March when their were twin blasts in the Subway killing 39 people and wounded more than 60 people.
I think that Russia really needs to step up their game and get better security. They has been already many terrorist attacks on them they should have seen it coming, they should have beefed up there security long before this happened. I do agree with President saying to beef up security but he should have done it much earlier.
