[QUOTE=Harnbrand;40292509]Third bomb just went off.[/QUOTE] If the radio stream is to be believed it was controlled.
[QUOTE=leach139;40292557]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] judging by the police response with suspicious packages and stuff I think its safe to assume
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;40292547]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] I honestly didn't expect myself to respond this way. I don't even know anyone in Boston, but I feel really sick about this watching it on the news
[QUOTE=FrankOfArabia;40292563]What a fucking day. First terrorist attack on US soil in years.[/QUOTE] uhm we have not confirmed that this is a TERRORIST attack don't jump to those assumptions yet
[QUOTE=supersnail11;40292569]except we have reports that it is a bomb[/QUOTE] Any old person can say that it was bomb, heck I can say it was dirty bomb, that doesn't make it any more creditable Wait for a major news network like reuters or BBC to pick it up
The number of people the people responsible for this have just killed by drawing the ire of the US is going to be staggering. Such a waste.
[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] Statistically speaking, it's not the most obvious answer. [thumb]http://i2.wp.com/www.loonwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/piechart2.jpg[/thumb] Terrorist attacks on US soil by group from 1980 to 2005. Don't pull shit from your asshole the next time, thanks.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;40292547]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] Its surprisingly normal for people spend more time worrying about how they should act than the actual event.
luaduck is right. Quit assuming terrorism. Stick to facts. Heart goes out to folks of Boston, stay safe. :(
[QUOTE=TunnelSnake;40292501]I never said it was Muslims? [B](Even though statistically speaking its the most obvious choice)[/B], just was referring to terrorism in general[/QUOTE] NO. MOST TERRORIST ATTACKS ARE DOMESTIC, WHITE, MEN. NOT MUSLIMS. [QUOTE=T2L_Goose;40292525]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.[/QUOTE] These are reported as incendiary devices - not steam pipes breaking.

[QUOTE=leach139;40292587]Any old person can say that it was bomb, heck I can say it was dirty bomb, that doesn't make it any more creditable Wait for a major news network like reuters or BBC to pick it up[/QUOTE] when the police are saying it you can usually trust them
[QUOTE=supersnail11;40292569]except we have reports that it is a bomb[/QUOTE] There has only been rumors though. They did a controlled detonation of a package that was suspected to be a bomb.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;40292320]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.[/QUOTE] I agree, at this point, it seems pretty likely that it's a bomb, but it would be wise not to jump to conclusions until they've announced what caused it.
3rd explosion confirmed to be a controlled detonation by bomb squad
[QUOTE=Coffee;40292573]North Korea has nothing to do with this since they have no reason to attack anyone outside of their own country.[/QUOTE] Not linking the 2 together, just everything i'm reading, hearing and seeing is hardly making the world seem like a nice place
Where have we confirmed three dead? Haven't seen anything on CNN, CBS or Washington Post.
What's the current casualty/injury count? This shit is seriously fucked up, why would anyone do this. Children run in the race for christ sakes, i mean holy shit
3 dead, many more hurt.
Joe Biden just called into CNN and confirmed there was a bombing and that he's watching it on TV right now.

"put some poop into it" Boston police talk

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;40292636]What's the current casualty/injury count? This shit is seriously fucked up, why would anyone do this. Children run in the race for christ sakes, i mean holy shit[/QUOTE] 2 deaths, 22 injured. according to [url]http://livewire.wcvb.com/Event/117th_Running_of_Boston_Marathon[/url]
My friend who's living in boston just told me that another explosion was spotted at the JFK library and that the FBI detonated something else. Something tells me this is more than just a gas leak.
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;40292636]What's the current casualty/injury count? This shit is seriously fucked up, why would anyone do this. Children run in the race for christ sakes, i mean holy shit[/QUOTE] What I've heard, three dead and a dozen injured. Ofcourse, this isn't very reliable at this time.
