3RD BOMB JUST WENT OFF
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;40292519]3RD BOMB JUST WENT OFF[/QUOTE] source
Boston has a Steam district heating system ([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_heating[/url]) Steam pipes have exploded before in the past. This could have been an accident.
This sucks. Fuck whoever did this.

Reading this while watching a documentary of inside North Korea is making me feel a little uneasy, even in my quaint little English village. Seems like a fast response, which is a good thing, hopefully if there is anything else they can defuse it
It looks like they might have isolated the third device before it went off; with luck, nobody was hurt.
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;40292519]3RD BOMB JUST WENT OFF[/QUOTE] It was controlled by the bomb squad.
[QUOTE=Siduron;40292488]Nobody mention it yet, but today is the birthday of Kim Il Sung which seems to be a pretty big deal in NK. Related? Who knows, but it's quite the coincidence.[/QUOTE] if it was North Korea they would have taken responsibility for it
Gotta wait til it's all over. Don't trust all twitter posts, twitter is great for spreading rumors and panicking people. Not saying nothing is happening, just saying nobody really knows yet, so remember this when you read.
[QUOTE=supersnail11;40292522]source[/QUOTE] We're listening to news live streams now.
Holy shit. Was playing a game and someone was like "Fuck heard a bomb or something, I live in boston" and someone else in the game said they felt something too Guess this was why... terrible.
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;40292519]3RD BOMB JUST WENT OFF[/QUOTE] Controlled detonation.
[QUOTE=LunchboxOfDoom;40291898][b]Two[/b] large explosions is what CNN is reporting.[/QUOTE] snip, late (damn I suck at this huh)

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40292510]I nearly threw up, watching CNN Not from the gore or blood, but by just knowing that it happened[/QUOTE] So far I've been more worried about how unbothered I've felt, despite knowing I should be bothered. I blame too much news reading.
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;40292519]3RD BOMB JUST WENT OFF[/QUOTE] planned detonation on suspicious package.
Holy, look at all those viewers.
They are calling for EOD dogs at the airport if I'm understand the scanner right, they are also going to do a controlled explosion near the scene, presumably to to try to disable another device.
[QUOTE=TunnelSnake;40292501]I never said it was Muslims? (Even though statistically speaking its the most obvious choice), just was referring to terrorism in general[/QUOTE] Check your facts there cowboys, there have been more terror attacks commited by white christians and by muslims.
Holy fuck guys [b]stop fantasizing about terrorists or conspiracies, all we know is that there's been explosions not a fucking bomb[/b] Save that shit for if or when a cause is discovered, because you're going to look like a right pillock if it was something mundane
[QUOTE=TheJoey;40292550]planned detonation on suspicious package.[/QUOTE] Thank goodness.
What a fucking day. First terrorist attack on US soil in years.
Any FPers in the Boston area please stay safe. Seriously.
All off duty officers have been called up

[QUOTE=Coffee;40292500]You can't really have unintentional bomb attacks now can you?[/QUOTE] You can, say you are just moving your bomb between where you made it and where you want to blow it up and it goes wrong en route.

Seems like a fast response, which is a good thing, hopefully if there is anything else they can defuse it[/QUOTE] North Korea has nothing to do with this since they have no reason to attack anyone outside of their own country.
Call just went out for 'activation' of off-duty officers, they're pulling out all the stops to secure the situation. Good.
The sad part is that we can only stop things like this from happen by improving our society, because society made them like this
