Two gored on fourth day of Pamplona's bull run
- 10 years ago
These bulls show no mercy as they dash through the streets.
And on the fourth day of Pamplona's bull run, two men have been gored.
They're among seven injured runners transferred to local hospitals.
But despite the obvious risks, tourists flock to the festival in droves.
(SOUNDBITE)(English) AMERICAN TOURIST FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA, MIKE, SAYING:
"It was, well it's scary. It's dangerous but it's fun."
The run is only 3 to 5 minutes, but the adrenaline rush lasts a lot longer.
(SOUNDBITE)(English) AMERICAN TOURIST FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, LEON FREDRICKSON, SAYING:
"I get real happy, I am very happy after the run and I can only feel that way here in Pamplona after the run. It's something inside of me that makes me feel wonderful. I don't know why, but it does."
It all ends at the bull-ring, where the beasts are corralled before the evening bullfight. A fight to the death.
