Explosions at Boston Marathon (1 Viewer)

[The Flying Elvis]

This is crazy... I wasn't near the area for the marathon but everyone in Boston basically knows someone in Copley today.

 

[collective]

They just showed a guy that is alive being wheeled around with his legs blown off on live TV, and one guy said at least 3 people are deceased.

What channel?

 

[Politician Spock]

WFAN already using the "T" word.

Tea party?

Well, it is Tax Day.

Not funny.

Are we supposed to be posting funny one liners in here?

I was being serious.

Couple FBGs likely crossed the finish line within 10 mins of the blast... jesus.

Fox News

Awful.....hopefully not an act of terrorism but isn't it Patriot's Day in Boston? Prayers for victims....

It would be a helluva coincidence if it weren't intentional.Holiday, many people not working, explosion at finish line of a huge annual event, and didn't "look like" a natural gas explosion.

JFC, WTF is wrong with people??!

We haven't proven a people connection yet GB. Let's hope for the least worst which would be some kind of accident.

True but given where this happened seems fishy. :(

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I'm definitely saying white guy terrorism..

You're such an ###.

Scanner talking about "worried about secondary device" This is definitely a bomb and not accidental

Omg :(

Maria Stephanos, a Boston reporter, is saying she was there and thinks it definitely came from inside a building.

Yes most likely. They are performing sweeps all over the place right now, though I would imagine that is pretty standard practice.

Sending prayers to all the victims and the people of Boston.

It is going to be a long day

Is she the one who said she smelled sulfur?

But domestic terrorism is still very much a possibility given the day and location.

Agreed. I will wait until further evidence, but it is not looking like a gas main or any other disaster. It looks deliberate

 

[Wrigley]

Bomb's don't kil.............

nevermind, this is just awful

Not trying to stir up anything, that picture just looks like how the movie started.

Sweet jesus. Have one friend running the Boston Marathon with her brother. So hoping they're both okay. What a horrifying attack.

I figure that there will be a number of videos of the explosion, especially with it being right at the finish line of a big marathon.

Yea, and there were camera folks in there immediately. Not sure I want to see the footage though

Or Facebook. Can't imagine what that would have been like.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Fox suspects IRA. What is this? 1984?

Wholly crap. This is terrible.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Could it be a gas explosion from a building?

IRA? Really?

 

[Angry Beavers]

Buddies wife running in this today... T&P to her and everyone involved.....

I'm wondering that myself.

Saw another one on TV from above this spot and two runners near the rail by the explosion dropped mid stride - maybe shrapnel or something

 

[CrossEyed]

That doesn't seem to be the indication. They reported another "device" apparently found at a hotel.

No
