...dazed and wounded poured out onto the street facing Hyde Park. "I saw a woman with both legs blown off below the knee," said a waiter as he sat dumbfounded on the curb. "There was blood and black smoke everywhere." The explosion was heard all over Mayfair, the heart of fashionable London, and ambulances sped to the hotel.
