Two explosions reported at Boston Marathon finish line! **Suspect #2 in Custody!!**

[WelshBloke]

True, that was a dumb question. I guess I meant is it like al qaeda or something? Though I guess how could anyone know? This is awful...

Someone will claim responsibility for it soon if its Islamists.

Boston news (NECN) reporting 3rd explosion that just happened.

 

[ultimatebob]

I believe they got that from a tweet from the Boston pd.

When did Twitter become a reliable news source? It can't be all that hard to create a "BostonPolice" Twitter handle and then pay a service to give you a few hundred fake friends.

 

[Markbnj]

Oh man, holy crap. I don't want to think the worst, but looking over the images of the scene I am thinking the worst.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Wait for real news to report it.

Like MSNBC? LOL.

 

[Abe Froman]

It looks like the explosion might have come from one of the buildings, injuring everyone standing outside its windows.

Someone on facebook posted this, so take it with a grain of salt.

Police officer near Boston Marathon finish line: 'There are secondary devices that have been found and are unexploded.' source: Twitter

 

[chowderhead]

My thoughts go out to the wounded and dead.

 

[lxskllr]

Yeah, 'cause it's all about you. :\

It's enough about me. Me is what I give a shit about, because I'm the only one that looks after my interests. You can worry about your own.

 

[Markbnj]

New York Post front page says "12 dead."

Yeah, I know, find a real paper.

 

[Train]

Crazy how I saw this on Twitter at least 40 minutes before any news network said anything.

I kept checking CNN, Fox, thinking it was a hoax.

I don't see it on their website. Is it on their tv network?

yesterday I was grumpy I didn't have today off so I could go watch the marathon. Today, I am extra thankful. I was just there this past Saturday and it was PACKED, I can only imagine what it was like today during the race. Just awful.

 

[ThePresence]

3rd explosion was a controlled detonation. They warned the media beforehand.

 

[mugs]

Or the most likely, a government one.

Please specify which government so I can determine how stupid you are.

From the NYP article:

"A federal law-enforcement source told The Post there are at least 12 dead and twice as many injured.

Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel."

I think that's from twitter.

I turned on the necn channel and they haven't mentioned it yet.

Somebody's leg flew by my head. I gave my belt to stop the blood," spectator John Ross told the Herald.

 

[ultimatebob]

Yeah, 'cause it's all about you. :\

No, I'm more worried about New England turning into a paranoid police state. Sandy Hook gave local politicians an excuse to go after people's guns... who knows what they'll come after this time.

Ugh!

How many Muslims do you think are watching this and thinking, "Please let this not be the act people who claim to believe what I believe"?
