The fact that runners go there at the top of their shape to run just to get their legs blown off, pisses me off.

I dunno if I agree with CNN. completely unplanned idiotic suicide bombers consistently do more damage. It was obviously planned, but I don't think 'well planned' is a good way to explain it.


I think they'll catch responsible party(ies) though. There's no way you can do something like this and get away with it with the resources available to the US to catch people like this.

That's a bold statement. People get denied all the time. It doesn't mean it's link. Post sources or don't post at all.

The suspect is a saudi guy who had shrapnel injuries, this sounds like some quick prejudice profiling to me but we'll see.

Bomb discovered at a T-train stop in my town. There are many more planted around Boston area, what the fuck is going on?

I am again, still in disbelief over the event. Where I was is actually like 200 yards away from the blast and I was closer to it just minutes beforehand.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned (I havent had a chance to read the whole thread), but according to this article the race was dedicated to the children who died in the Newton massacre and some of the victims families were watching near the finish line. As if those poor people haven't gone through enough already.

My friend was in his apartment and heard the bomb and got out of there as quick as he could. He walked passed the library 10 minutes before it blew up. Talk about a close call. Vibes for people who have been lost and injured

I don't believe the explosion at the library was big, can anyone provide more information on what happened/is happening there?

It was believed to be an unrelated electrical fire in the maintenance room there that lead to an explosion, but this was the last I heard

VIbes to the whole city of boston. This world is so messed up. On a side note, the amount of calls the BPD and Mass State Police are getting right now must be so overwhelming. props to any first responders involved right now, must be so stressful.

These sort of attacks are just going to continue to happen. These attacks and attacks like the london tube bombings are going to quickly become a part of life that we deal with as Americans.
