Wow thread is going fast

@WCVB 1m BREAKING John Atwater reports police are about to detonate a device in the area of Dexter and Laurel. Air horn will precede explosion

[QUOTE=alanna;40336928]I think it's too soon, I could understand attacking a school but I don't see why they would attack a marathon. The connection doesn't make sense.[/QUOTE] Speculation is all we have at the moment. I'd say...just to cause harm.

I'm probably going to have a nightmare about being the guy that the police are chasing after listening to all this.

26 adams crew requested to clear open door

[QUOTE=JerryK;40336957]false, american police forces use trained bears to apprehend suspects, eat bombs, and save lives[/QUOTE] Pretty sure you're thinking of Russian police.

26 Adams need a crew to clear an open door.

Open door house they're clearing.

They need a crew to clear an open door. I believe.

I've been trying to follow the reddit thread, but the Facebook post by Facepunch saying that it's invite-only now has made me jump over here to see what's going on. It's a lot easier to follow new things happening on a forum rather than on there.

What and why are they blowing something up?

[QUOTE=JerryK;40336957]false, american police forces use trained bears to apprehend suspects, eat bombs, and save lives[/QUOTE] Shhhhh. American military secret.

[QUOTE=MShinigaki;40336979]What and why are they blowing something up?[/QUOTE] Probably controlled detonation.

[QUOTE=MShinigaki;40336979]What and why are they blowing something up?[/QUOTE] controlled detonation. 40Mbs internet speed and I still get sniped.

[QUOTE=slinkman;40336949]Speculation is all we have at the moment. I'd say...just to cause harm.[/QUOTE] It's kind of odd though, most domestic terrorist acts are pretty clear early on in their motive. The last two examples being Donner going against the police and the Sikh temple shooting.

[QUOTE=MShinigaki;40336979]What and why are they blowing something up?[/QUOTE] Disarming a one of the bombs they found. Unlike disarming on TV, it's actually just safer to destroy explosives by detonating them in a controlled area.
