Friday's tragedy started when Breivik set off a car bomb near government headquarters in Oslo.
Ninety minutes later Breivik opened fire on hundreds of teenagers assembled for the youth camp on Utoya. The death toll for that massacre now stands at 68 with more than 60 wounded.
Breivik was dressed as a policeman when he carried out the shootings on Utoya, 20 miles (35km) from Oslo.
None of his victims has been named except for one - 51-year-old Trond Berntsen, the stepbrother of crown princess Mette-Marit. A policeman, he was apparently on the island of Utoya as a private guard for the gathering.

The video I posted sais that he took the ferry over to the island and the woman Monica on the same ferry became suspcious and walked up to the house you see on the hill above the bridge and warned the off duty cop/security officer on the island. Breivik shot them both with his M14 and dumdum bullets.
Here is another video showing the SWAT team arriving to the isalnd and the first youths running towards them in horror. I think you can hear some gunfire in the background during the first seconds of the movie.

You are making assumptions.
There is a likelihood the ferry did not follow that normal schedule since the annual meeting was going on on the island PLUS an emergency situation (from the Oslo bombing). Furthermore, he was dressed as a POLICE OFFICER, requesting to be transferred to the island.
There is a high likelihood that the ferry did NOT follow the regular schedule due to many, extraordinary events happening.

Here's an English version of the video!
On this link the guy from the video telling his story... (in Norwegian).
The itching part of this story is that he said ABB was wearing a drysuit on the ferry, but while walking around and shooting he was wearing full jacket and and several layers of clothing.!!

A dry suit? In case he had to swim? Perhaps one of the layers of clothing later was the drysuit?
When it comes to equipment, I have rarely been more impressed. He was wearing a wet or dry suit, the police badge was pinned on the side of his arm. He had a loaded handgun and a bigger gun. His ID card was hanging in a thread around his neck, while the other equipment he needed for a "routine check" was behind him in a steel-colored trolley or suitcase.

I altered the google translation so it might make more sense:

How do we know that he left five minutes before the bomb went off? It could have been there for an hour.
Or maybe more.
Im assuming that since he wasn't in proximity, the bomb was on a timer or was detonated using a cell phone.

Doesn't it seem odd to anyone that he killed so many people? he had to have set some kind of record.

Let no opportunity go wasted. The Right Wing capitalizes on it, and Labour makes sure that their logo is displayed in the center of the picture of the man interviewed.

Tottaly agree. I was unware of that police first claimed they got a call 17.07 or something, i have only heard the official version 17.27 or something.
