During the first run, Milan took some excellent photos and a video from his spot on the corner, as shown below. The run of the bulls past Milan's spot took only a few seconds. The humans took a bit longer to pass by, as there were hundreds (or perhaps even a few thousand) of them, but there are only 12 bulls in the run (actually, 6 bulls and 6 steers). As you will see in the photos and the video below, a bull at the tail end of the herd slips and falls into Milan's corner. The bull hit and cracked the lens cover of Milan's Nikon D2-X, and upended the Sony Cybershot T10 that he was using to take the video. To play the photo sequence from start to finish, run the mouse over the first row from left to right, the second row from right to left, the third row from left to right, and then the fourth row from right to left.

In the photo sequence above (which took less than 5 seconds), the first shot shows the tail of a steer followed by the runners, and in the second shot you see the first of the bulls. By the third shot, you can see the head of a runner who has been knocked down. This runner remains in the photo for the next four shots, while a steer passes by. The bull that slips and slides into the corner is visible in the last six shots, and is completely down on his chin and neck for the last shot, immediately after which he slammed into Milan's camera and broke the lens cover.
Below is Milan's YouTube video of the first Running of the Bulls.
