Boston Marathon bombed...

Beware of gross and possibly not safe content for children or work. It appears 2 suicide bombers just hit the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

Explosions Reported At The Boston Marathon; Dozens Injured [Updating]


Tons of other blogs and media sources. yahoo is useless... one sentence.

I'd hit those 2 links and bounce around on blogs. They're actually on scene.

the links on google news are very spotty too, doesn't look like they're releasing a whole lot of information.

Crazy stuff. Will be interesting to see who claims responsibility. No doubt cameras caught what happened since it is a high profile race.

My cousin got married there not to long ago because her husband is from there.

Where do you see anything about suicide bombers? Everything from those links and the others says they were devices in trash cans or near the viewing stands.

Boston PD found another one and were doing a controlled detonation of it.

I will state this... and state it again. Terrorist, whether this person or that group, already won the battle. The fact that the United States ended up having to spend all this $$, check ourselves (ie TSA) and make us just tentative to even go to school, movie theaters, the mall is a win for them.

And now this... those are some ****ing *******s. Guess I'm just venting, but stuff like this makes me so ticked off. All of these folks doing something healthy, running for a cause/exercise/gathering donations. Pretty much nothing negative about it, and some jo thinks he's brilliant for injuring tons.

A senior U.S. intelligence official said two more explosive devices were found near the area, and they were being dismantled.
So that would be a negative on the gas leak.
