Holy crap!
If it was a person who had a motive to do something like this and wasn't an accident, I really hope they get caught or turn themselves in immediately... that is just bad..
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;40292271]blood =/= gore[/QUOTE]
theres a guy with his leg blown off, how is that not gore?
i hope this doesn't prompt any further terrorist acts- like copycat terrorists or something
i'm scared as to what might happen in the next few weeks
what even happened to drive somebody to do this?? i mean why target Boston marathon runners in particular???
The news don't appear to be calling it a bomb yet, they're just suggesting the possibilities.
Then from this point on no one can have fun while running in a marathon. :c

I kinda hope it is rather than organised terrorism, but the reports of 2 explosions makes me think it might be the latter.

Is the Lenox where the first two bombs were or is this something else going on?
Edit: It's another hotel, the first two bombs were in the Fairmount Copley Plaza Hotel[/QUOTE]
Mom is watching Fox News downstairs and I overheard them saying NYC is setting up anti-terrorism teams at landmarks and hotels. So it might be some kind of precaution.

Hard to say what else it would be. My first thought was possibly a gas line explosion, but that would be an ongoing fire as it consumed the fuel flowing through the pipe. We'll see.
Jesus Christ my friend was watching the marathon in Boston and I haven't heard from him since the explosion.

Must have been terrifying when the second one went off
I know this is a dumb assumption.
But this entire scenario feels so similar to the Breivik bombing and shooting.

You know, before i posted that post , no one had posted about the 3 deaths
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;40292331]-gore-[/QUOTE]
I can clearly see a person missing a large portion of their leg there, [I]please[/I] link the pictures.
Why would you do this. I hope there's nothing more.
Link any NSFW images, jeez.
I hate news like this, be safe!
holy shit
they just showed the footage of the explosion happening. i dont want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but that looks intentional. im still staying neutral.

First off we don't truly know if this was an act of terrorism or not. It's highly likely, but weird shit can happen, so who knows.
It is a well known race, with live coverage. While it's big, it's also small enough to instill fear in other people who maybe don't live in New York and all these other major metro cities. People who live outside of large cities feel safe because that's where the majority of these attacks happen. When something like this happens in a smaller city, it can cause a lot more fear.
I hope that makes sense I'm running off of 4 hours of sleep.
Jesus. That was just right in the middle of everyone.
According to the scanner I'm listening to, the Lenox Hotel and the Mandarin (I think that's what was said) are both being evacuated, as well as the Boston Public Library
This war on terrorism is going great, btw.
What I don't understand is why someone would want to do something like this. It's like they wake up in the morning and think "I think I'll blow up some people today, that sounds nice."

Already been posted as a link.... Don't you people know how to post NSFW stuff?
I'm genuinely getting scared by this. I pray no one is seriously injured and that's the last of it.
