Attack on Boston Marathon

I'm here in Boston, watching the news reports on two explosions very close to the finish line of the Boston Marathon. People's legs were blown off, Fox is reporting 3 deaths. Very scary.

 

Latest: 2 deaths, 22 injured.

Folks are being told to stay off cell phones, because they might set off more bombs. The marathon was stopped immediately. This happened at about 3 pm.

 

This is probably the most unsettling image from it thus far (it's a bit graphic)

Surviving family members from the Newtown tragedy were in the VIP section at the finish line.

 

Were they really?

 

I often watch the finish, I live so close, but I stayed home today. The MBTA is closed now.

Sorry I have no words...

 

i started a thread on this in random thoughts, since i'm in Boston

 

You're a few minutes behind.

 

society is at the glance of a collapsing era

 

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

 

There is a report that there was an explosion at the JFK Library; not sure this is true.

 

The fire at the library was mechanical and not related to anything else.

Also, CBS is reporting 10 dead. Wonder why the disparity? :/

 

I'm glad you said that. (seriously)

Society is just to complicated and too stressful. And that leads to a results like this.

Unfortunately what's going to happen is people are going demand more rules, more enforcement, more complexity, etc. All of which will just cause society to be more complicated and stressful which in turn will only cause even more violence, death, pain and suffering.

 

This is what CBC is saying.


Also: In before "It's Obama's fault".

 

It will be scary to run in the marathon next year.

 

Intelligence official: 2 more explosive devices found at Boston Marathon; being dismantled.

 

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a temporary flight restriction in Boston.

 

How convenient.

 

I fucking new youd be first to respond!

Lol

I thought same thing though..
