Does anyone know anything about this?

by **twballgame9** on Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:11 pm

My girlfriend just called from down there in shock. They are evacuating. She said it was really bad.

I am headed out. If anyone hears anything, please post it.

From Twitter, some NECN reporter:

"JackieBrunoNECN
I saw people's legs blown off. Horrific. Two explosions. Runners were coming in and saw unspeakable horror."

This was the most in depth thing I found.

I am watching Fox News....somone in the crowd said that people are dead- they've been blown apart. I also just saw a live video of a young man in a wheelchair and it looked like he had no legs. This is beyond horrible......

This is the type of situation that makes me think that torture should be legal. Not common, just legal for the special type of evil involved in crimes like this.

by **cvilleagle** on Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:33 pm

Fox News is now saying at least 3 fatalities

jmartpolitico: boston police scanner says EMS reporting another device on boylston st.

Is there a confirmation of devices? I believe this is an act of evil, but so far no confirmation from media sources. The video of victims seem to show lots of lower extremity injuries.

If this is terrorism, these fuckers need to be fileted. Also can never tell the source if it is terrorism. Could also be domestic.

just terrible

prayers to all the victims and their families, horrible

by **DuchesneEast** on Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:47 pm

Why would anyone do something so heinous, this world is full of evil fuckers. I pray this wasnt domestic.

i think I saw a comment that the bombs (for lack of a better word) were place in trash cans at the finish line. I pray that as few people are hurt/killed as possible.

Controlled explosion?

by **LawyersGunsnMoney** on Mon Apr 15, 2013 3:01 pm

it was a quick mention on the news.

by **BCdee** on Mon Apr 15, 2013 3:04 pm

The NY Post says that 12 people have been killed. OMG. I hope that's not correct.

ABC saying 22 injured, 2 confirmed dead. I think it will rise. Also saying there was a controlled explosion near the scene.

Video of the explosion as it happened:

23 Injured, 2 dead from 2 explosions seconds apart on Boylston. The police found and detonated a 3rd device 45 minutes later. Sounds like they were small homemade devices. Seems like this domestic terrorist activity (if you were to ask me).

NBC saying "Multiple explosive devices found". BTW... Jeff Greenfield of Yahoo News seems to be blaming it on right-wing extremists protesting Tax Day.

Fuck Jeff Greenfield. Fuck ALL political comments by everyone at this moment.

They will find out who is responsible in short order. Right now, focus on the victims.

He didn't say that.

jimgeraghty ‏@jimgeraghty
Is today some significant anniversary or symbolic date?

‏@greenfield64
@jimgeraghty April 15 is income tax today...only thing I can think of with any conceivable political significance..which proves nothing.

by **HJS** on Mon Apr 15, 2013 3:25 pm

2 more explosives found... and are being dismantled. If they can dismantle without exploding, they'll know exactly who did this (though if you want to jump to conclusions, IB's ex is as good a start as any).

by **EagleNYC** on Mon Apr 15, 2013 3:35 pm

Holy crap. Thoughts and prayers to everyone affected.

The fact that there were apparently unexploded devices (to me) proves it was amatuer hour. It's just such a tragic event.
