I think pretty much every public event, festivals, parties, everything, will be very very different this year.
...I feel terrible for getting a chuckle from that reporter. "He said 'Heck yes, they were explosives'. And he didn't say 'heck'." I guess I needed that to lighten my mood a tiny bit. Got tears in my eyes at footage of a small girl with two people performing first aid, with her just looking... Confused, mostly.
[QUOTE=KILLTHIS;40292990]Wait a second. The second explosion hit an earlier spot later on? Call me stupid but if this isn't some sudden incident of exploding gasoline or whatever this could be used in order to make the biggest impact in terms of casualties. I mean, just think about it: You run towards a point, where a bomb hits off and maybe hurt or kill a few people. Then when everyone turns around and run back the second one goes off while everyone tries to escape. That's... that's crazy.[/QUOTE] I thought the exact same thing. I mean I understand why people like to be skeptical that this was an attack but it's some coincidence if it's not.

[QUOTE=Disseminate;40293060]My mom finished in 3:43, and it happened at 4:09. :suicide:[/QUOTE] I'm glad she's okay. Get her the hell out of there.
[QUOTE=Viper1204;40293055]"we aren't confirming that they are bombs" "2 more explosive devices found at Boston marathon" What the fuck?[/QUOTE] It's not confirmed. The only information we should be listening to are information given by the police. Not rumors or "reports". We need facts. Anything else is just panic and makes the problem worse.
God of all the cities this had to happen in, it had to happen in the city I live right next to.
[QUOTE=Stalk;40292948]... [B]In other news![/B] 56 people killed and 300 wounded in several blasts in Bagdhad and nobody gives a shit![/QUOTE] there are times i just tell them to troll on but today shut up and be ashamed for that
[QUOTE=supersnail11;40293057][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DbiaKAI.png[/IMG] could just be people panicking though[/QUOTE] I think its just everyone going into overdrive, it happened after the 7/7 bombing in London. They did a few controlled detonations even though as we now know there was only 4 bombs. Anything that looks suspicious is probably being treated as such.

Not being disrespectful or anything but i think it's kind of ironic that many of the runners got their limbs severed And that's really fucked up when you think about it, i hope they catch the motherfucker who did it

The Boston Globe ‏@BostonGlobe 1m UPDATE: Another suspicious package was reported near the Harvard #MBTA station The Boston Globe ‏@BostonGlobe 2m UPDATE: One report was of unexploded device on the glass footbridge over Huntington Ave near Copley place
[QUOTE=Disseminate;40293060]My mom finished in 3:43, and it happened at 4:09. :suicide:[/QUOTE] As terrible as it still is, these explosions happened in the audience/sidewalk I think a lot of the people who were actually running will have minimal injuries by comparison to the ones who were at the epicenter and should be mostly OK.

Apparently there's been confirmation that the devices were homemade bombs. Anybody find a source on this claim?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40293042]That's tomorrow, you're off by a day.[/QUOTE] Oh. Well never mind then. Doesn't the time difference make a difference though?
Go figure, the guy who made that twitter account is a complete asshole [img]http://puu.sh/2AMlC[/img]
CNN reports, "homemade, IED-style devices"
[QUOTE=supersnail11;40293065][img]http://i.imgur.com/iBVVWyO.png[/img][/QUOTE] If there were more bombs they would have gone off by now.
I used to live on Huntington Ave... Crazy. Trying to get in touch with my 5 friends running/watching in this.

Im really really glad the other bombs didnt explode. But it has me wondering why didnt it go off?
My dad ran in this marathon today, and he heard the explosion only 5 minutes after he finished.
Boston Marathon is the oldest Marathon of the world I just heard.
[QUOTE=Disotrtion;40293119]CNN reports, "homemade, IED-style devices"[/QUOTE] CNN is reporting stuff out of their ass right now Until something like 24 hours have passed, and the situation is clear, any claim they make is 90% made up bullshit.
[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;40293115]Go figure, the guy who made that twitter account is a complete asshole [img]http://puu.sh/2AMlC[/img][/QUOTE] He's an idiot and he isn't going to admit it. Don't bother.
[QUOTE=smurfy;40293050]Isn't it really weird/creepy/scary to think that amidst all the chaos there is at least one person out there who knows exactly what is going on. I wonder what they are thinking right now[/QUOTE] Probably "man my bombs are doing the exact job I wanted them to"
