Crazy. Prayers to all of those affected.

Something like this you see the worst (bombing) and best (assistance effort immediately after) of humanity at the same time.


Really wish they wouldn't show the graphic HD injuries though. Not because I can't handle it but because its not the time to do so IMO

[ehh]

Re: Explosions at the Boston Marathon

Some very, very graphic pictures have been posted to Reddit. If you were squimish about the Kevin Ware injury, definitely do not check them out. Ware's injury was mild by comparison, obviously, since there weren't friggin explosives involved.

Man. I do think that something weird happened. Don't know how this would happen... Sad to find 2 dead and 80+ injured...

Re: Explosions at the Boston Marathon

At least 5 additional devices have been found spread out apparently. This wasn't a small-time thing, people.

Also an unconfirmed report about a 3rd death.

Re: Explosions at the Boston Marathon

I'm sick ... can't believe my city had to go through this today. My wife and I love Back Bay and just knowing exactly where this horrific act of senseless terrorism occurred makes it more real. For those on site ... man ... I just can't even imagine.

Prayers go out to all affected. So scary ...

I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to victims and families affected by this extremely sad event. It is a sad day for New Englanders and all of the United States.

Spoiler

@TheMatrix31 Completely understandable.

Commish says officially 3 dead so far, and that no suspect is in custody.

Sad. Hope it stays at that. We don't need anymore deaths out of This.

And one of those was an eight year old... just... wow. This is just horrible.

Maybe, maybe not. Interesting how earlier reports thought that a glut of security at a local hospital equaled a person of interest being treated there. Now is it possible that a media story has been "leaked" to counter this?

Possible, I suppose. But I think it's more likely that the commissioner is telling the truth and the New York Post reported false information in its haste to be the first with details.

I met Joe at an event last month ... not surprising. He's an amazing human being.
