DAY TWO: (video below) Only two persons with minor injuries - which is surprising considering the fast, front-running bull, far separated from the rest, acted like a bulldozer, tossing people left and right on the way.

DAY THREE: (video below) By far the slowest (3:38 minutes) and with the most injuries in the first few days of the running of the bulls in Pamplona. Two gorings and one cut alnog with 4 contusions from (likely) falls. The last bull, the one which caused much of the damage, got separated from the rest and kept turning back towards the crowd. I've seen much worse. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

I'll be sharing/posting these videos daily. Today's injured were 3 Spaniards (none from Pamplona), 2 Brits, and 2 Americans. You'll find their abbreviated names, nationalities, and condition via Jazz's links above. Thanks for posting that, Jazz!! thumbsup

Saludos, MadridMan
