[QUOTE=Fort83;40291961]I hope it was just a freak accident and not something more sinister.[/QUOTE]
CNN is saying it was 2 large explosions simultaneously near the finish line. It might have been planned.
[QUOTE=Drakehawke;40291993]Was it an attack then? Or are you just assuming it was?[/QUOTE]
Well considering there was 2 blasts, and it seemed to be directed at the street...I don't see how it's not an attack.
[QUOTE=Turing;40291999]and now we will see conspiracy theories about this being a false flag shit to force new privacy intruding laws
i would use inb4 because it fits better but that would get me banned[/QUOTE]
stop with these "and now watch as" posts
wow. i hope everyone is okay...
[QUOTE=Harnbrand;40291962]When I read about the coming marathon, I thought "This'd be the perfect opportunity for some asshole with a bomb."[/QUOTE]
Why rate me dumb, Ice Tea? You think I'm pleased about this?
Time to ready the invasion forces.

Article has added a bit more to it:
[quote]There have been multiple explosions at the finish line for the Boston Marathon, with reports of at least a dozen casualties.
We spoke to a Boston Police Department Spokesperson who said there was "some sort of incident at 671 Boylston Street", which is the finish line for the race. They could not give out further information at the time of the call.
Live video from CBS shows ambulances at the scene. Fox News reports that there were two explosions, while [B]the Boston Herlad reports that the explosion seemed to be centered in a 'trash can'.[/B]
Fox News reports that the headquarters of the Boston Marathon are now on lockdown.
[B]Reporters on the scene are reporting dozens of injuries and lost limbs.[/B] TV crews are showing images lots of blood on the ground.
The pictures below all appear to be from the scene. Some show smoke and the explosion, others appear to show injured people (warning some photos may be upsetting):[/quote]
The guy on the phone with CNN can barely speak. He sounds so scared :(
The scary thing is that there might be more bombs. I Hope not.
WHAT THE FUCK

Someone already posted that up at the top. If you wanna keep it, just try and link it.
I'd not be surprised if there were more bombs waiting to go off.
someone interviewed said the explosions came from a building
Does anyone actually know what caused it? All I've heard is a trash can bomb or something.
WHAT THE FUCK
It doesn't look like it's gas related judging by the third picture, especially now that they have confirmed there has been two explosions.
You likely have a new terrorism case in your hands US people.

my b, was trying to post one from twitter and didn't copy the link properly
This is truly terrorism. Attacking people where they absolutely least expected it. Imagine how overjoyed the runner were once they were able to cross the finish line of a fucking marathon, only to have that happen to them...
They showed the explosions partly. I think I saw a fucking leg fly through the air.
How do you stop shit like this? It just isn't possible.
I hope everyone survives, although it would be a miracle.
The CBS feed just showed video and there were two, 100% deliberate. The explosions appeared weak though.
what a nightmare
Listening to the Police Scanner for the Boston Police.

It happened 3 hours after the end of the race so I'm not sure about that

The police sound really spooked. Can't imagine what they're going through.
