Explosions Near the Finish of Boston Marathon
« on: April 15, 2013, 01:13:44 PM »
Don't click if you're squimish



Reports of injury, doesn't sound like anyone was killed. Not a good thing, either way.

Normally I just read these types of topics and leave it at that, but my thoughts are out to those who were impacted by this. Not radular in the slightest  :-\

Reports that they've found a third bomb. It hasn't been detonated.

It's being reported. I'd assume that it's for real. Wow, what a horrible fucking tragedy.

What is even the reasoning behind this? Does someone dislike runners? Can't "share the road"?

Apparently someone heard on a police scanner that they were looking for a "postal service police" which I guess is some code for Bomb Squad.

Apparently some news station showed a guy being wheelchaired out of there and he lost both of his legs at his knees, showing exposed bone. I think it was CNN.

I had FOX TV running for a while, but I switched it off now. It's similar to 9/11 where there are a few basics facts that are known and from there on it's hours of speculation and gory pictures.

God damn it. Thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones.

I had a work colleague move out there recently. Hope she's ok.

Everything points to homegrown.  The reports I've been hearing have said there was no warning, no intelligence suggesting an attack, nothing.

So true.  It's a shame.  So much lately of this lately and I do hate the media for it but it's a rating juggernaut.  That's why people watch reality TV to see people get hurt or hate on a person.
