Explosions Near Finish Line of Boston Marathon... At Least Dozens Injured

[Tabascocat]

where are you seeing that?

On CNN, now three devices have been found.

A marathon that represents people from all over the world and all walks of life. What would that type of destruction accomplish in even the sickest of minds?

Two more devices found, definitely terrorism.

Saw that too.
They are supposedly taking apart the remaining two.
I think that is four bombs in total.

I've been checking between the CNN , Fox and others.
Fox so far has been about 20-30 minutes ahead for whatever reason. They are getting interviews and even staing the race number and name of each witness. They are say 2 more devicves are "reportedly" found. That's different when they said very early on that least two had been killed.

In any case, this terrible stuff.

Hmm, must be on TV? I'm on the CNN website and there hasn't been anything about that yet.

Apparently something has happened at the JFK Library because a fire has broke out.

CNN is running about 20-30 minutes behind for some reason.

They were saying 1/2 dozen hurt when others were saying 2 dead and nearly 2 dozen injured.
Kind of unusual, but maybe they didn't have someone at the finish line (or that person got hurt).

absolutely agree

 

[Tabascocat]

Speculation will be going crazy on who did this, but there are two scenarios in play at this time:

1. Al Queda-multiple bombs in sequence is their signature

2. Some anti-gov whacko/s making a statement on Patriots day/Tax day

Number one is a stretch to me, these bombs had ball-bearings in them, that screams novice.

Totally sad situation and the terrorists must be found.

They really don't care.
Same as subway bombings in UK, etc. Multinational deaths and the killers just don't really care.

NY Post is like a tabloid, take from that what you will. Still two confirmed but it will be a miracle if it stays at that number.

It's still an American institution, I doubt the person/ppl involved thought as cerebrally as that.

 

[Tabascocat]

Unofficially, they have a suspect being guarded a Boston hospital who was injured during the explosion. Surveillance shows him bringing in multiple backpacks 20 minutes prior.

 

[DFWJC]

Update says
2 dead, at least 28 injured, and 6 very critical

 

[DFWJC]

It sounds the it was a bomb at the JFK library.

Could be domestic. We'll see.
But adding it up

Boston (tea party was anti tax),
on
Tax Day

then JFK Library. But if this is true, the moron didn't look up the fact that JFK lowered taxes.

And then again, it could have been anyone

"@BillyCorben: Via @JFKLibrary: "Fire is out, appears to have started in mechanical room of new building. All staff & visitors are accounted for & safe.""

"@BillyCorben: Via @JFKLibrary: "Investigators are investigating. Any tie to Boston Marathon explosions is pure speculation.""

 

[DFWJC]

Update is 49 injured, 2 fatalities
good grief

 

[kristie]

so terrible. :cry3:

 

[Doomsay]

Looks pretty amateurish, thank god more people were killed given the high and tight concentrations. I've run a lot of corporate challenge races there, it's pretty tight in the start/finish areas.

 

[MonsterD]

Insane.
