The good news is medical units are generally everywhere at marathons.

The CBS live footage showed people responding pretty much immediately after it happened. They always have lots of people on-hand for marathons anyways, but it looks like response was super fast.

 

[kingocfs]

What the fuck?

 

[Altazor]

FUCK, I hope BostonGAF is safe!

A terrible situation

 

[sankt-Antonio]

What the fuck!?! Man i hope not to many got hit, its a big event.

 

[shira]

Working for me in Chrome. Windows 7.

 

[tapedeck]

WTF

 

[Keyser Soze]

Sky News is showing video which shows severely bent iron railing.

Mentions of lost legs.

Possible fatalities.

 

[Veitsev]

Need people from postal security to open boxes...

 

[Vanillalite]

Stay Safe Boston-GAF! I pray this doesn't get any worse than it already is!

 

[rocksteady1983]

My wife and a bunch of our friends just ran the Color Run in Dallas a week ago. Holy shit this is terrible.

 

[paully]

The fact this has happened in Boston is pretty shocking. Good grief, is anyone safe anymore?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Best wishes to everyone there.

 

[Nesotenso]

hope there is no loss of life

 

[Fenderputty]

Sounds like terrorism to me:

1. Warnings of other unexploded handbags
2. SWAT team was advised to get their rifles and gear
3. Call for Bomb Squad to the finish line

Now the rush to confirm if it's domestic or not? I would imagine so though.

 

[FroJay]

If this was "intentional" how long before we go to war again? Hope the victims are alright.

 

[Igo]

BBC saying the explosions came from inside a hotel.

 

[Flek]

WTF holy shit this is terrible

 

[Trurl]

That CBS stream is reporting multiple explosions. Most likely terrorism =/ The question now is whether it's domestic or foreign.

Assholes.

Multiple? As well as being a tragedy, I fear this might become socially toxic.

CBS Live Stream

http://boston.cbslocal.com/live-video/

These news reporters are dreadful. They're talking some utter shit, trying to dramatize it talking about the marathon saying how it's a place for amateur runners etc. Who cares people are fucking dead and injured.

The bloke just said "such a great view".

 

[Sanjuro]

Wonderful.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

How the fuck am I just hearing about this now? I'm not next door, but I'm not far off.

It seems to be a very weak explosion given that the surrounding buildings look to be relatively unharmed.

 

[SolsticeZero]

What does "suit up, suit up" mean?

Conducting sweep for other devices.

They were telling the SWAT team to get in their gear. That, or the bomb technician to get in his blast suit.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Fuck 2 of my friends are there today, volunteering at the finish

 

[DieH@rd]

doesnt work in chrome for me.

Works for me.

 

[JABEE]

What's going on? AP is just sending out Pulitzer notifications. Holy shit. I hope everyone in Boston is okay.

 

[Vilix]

CNN saying a bomb when off in downtown Boston, but can't confirm.

 

[neojubei]

Oh my god
I used to work at the bpl there.

 

[JeTmAn81]

I doubt this was an accident. Most likely Islamic terrorism. It makes sense for them to hit a target like this as it will create panic.

 

[Dicer]

Fuck 2 of my friends are there today, volunteering at the finish

I hope they are safe, try to get a hold of them ASAP

 

[Krauser Kat]

jumping to any conclusions of why and how are moot at this point. Thoughts go out to those injured.

 

[Cheeto]

If this was "intentional" how long before we go to war again? Hope the victims are alright.

If this is the precursor to war with Iran, I want off this fucking planet already

 

[TheNatural]

Mother fucker. Here we go again. WHY.

 

[RustyNails]

This is just mind boggling

 

[rinse82]

Nothing is safe anymore.

 

[Manmademan]

holy shit this is terrible

 

[Dega]

Fuck you can rewind this?!

Oh wow it does.

 

[VeryGooster]

Coworker knows someone who works at a nearby hospital, says that there are 12 dead and over 100 injured #bostonmarathon

[ThatObviousUser]

Fuck. This is less than a mile from where I work. Fuck. Hope no one got really hurt.

 

[Wazzy]

Oh man the NSFW picture....:/

I hope everyone from BostonGAF is safe and that everyone injured makes it through.

 

[darkazcura]

AWnckljsvnjvdn I am 3 miles from this. I didn't hear anything?! That's why there were streams of police going by me 15 minutes ago.

 

[sans_pants]

I doubt this was an accident. Most likely Islamic terrorism. It makes sense for them to hit a target like this as it will create panic.

pump the brakes
