NoSaint Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Looks like a sad scene in boston. 2 explosions being reported on the marathon route. victims look to be mostly spectators from early reports.
shrader Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 So when does the speculation turn to what you know it's going to turn to? I can't pull up any audio here at work right now, so I'm very curious to see what the story is on this one.
NoSaint Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) live tweets from WCVB (Boston)... some pics, and info as its coming out.... fair warning, nothing toooo graphic (yet) but some victim pics starting to show in that stream. http://livewire.wcvb.com/Event/117th_Running_of_Boston_Marathon local reporter saying the blasts were felt blocks away, and an entire storefront was blown out.

The Poojer Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 i've heard early unconfirmed reports it could be gas lines...

I can't get any of the local Boston sites to load right now. Probably some server overload issues or something.
gomper Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 WTF? 2 separate explosions. Some missing limbs. Not good.

NoSaint Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 some more graphic photos coming out - i might retire from coverage for a bit honestly. sounds like 2 explosions, 3 minutes apart... and decently sized. starting to see some pretty damaged people in the photos being tweeted though, and i dont particularly need that.
shrader Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I'm so glad I don't have to go through that area on the way home like I used to. I don't even want to know what its like right now.
NoSaint Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 i've heard early unconfirmed reports it could be gas lines... it would be some crazy timing, within minutes of the first finishers reaching the location. its possible (especially if something to do with heavy crowds or such effected the lines) but the timing at the very least leaves the question in the back of your head until confirmation comes.

I hate even mentioning it in my first post, but it's the logical thought at this point.
NoSaint Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 and fair warning - you know deadspin is no holds barred on their coverage.... proceed at your own risk. likely will get the earliest info, but it may have some graphic stuff. video starting to be shared. http://deadspin.com/explosions-reported-at-the-boston-marathon-473008941?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
gomper Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Check the date. April 15th. Tax day. I hope it wasn't some crazy D-Bag.
shrader Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 The local news here is talking about backpacks being potentially left against a building. I can't even imagine how something like that would go unnoticed.
KD in CA Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) it would be some crazy timing, within minutes of the first finishers reaching the location. its possible (especially if something to do with heavy crowds or such effected the lines) but the timing at the very least leaves the question in the back of your head until confirmation comes. Wouldn't the first finishers have been done hours ago? Edited April 15, 2013 by KD in CT
shrader Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 They're using the word bomb over and over on tv too. So is that pretty much official at this point?
RkFast Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Those who seek to kill the innocent and disrupt society and our way of life, once found guilty in a court of law, are to be dealt with in the harshest way possible. END. OF. STORY.
NoSaint Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Wouldn't the first finishers have been done hours ago? could be - i saw reports of the winner just a few minutes before. i have no idea what time it started. ive also heard conflicting reports on the gap in between the two blasts now. rumors of a 3rd device being found are now floating all over the place too. this time im actually going to check out of twitter and the like as early coverage of this stuff gets all kinds of terrible information and i dont want to spread anything faulty. id rather wait and get the real story.
