"Several suspect packages still on Boylston" all injured clear, now clearing all officers away

 

[Captain Tuttle]

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.

It's a huge part of the culture in Boston, really brings city together. It's tragic that people are injured though, it's dramatic, it doesn't need to be dramatized

 

[Dicer]

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.

Let's not jump to conclusions...

 

[Gustav]

According to the NY times, the explosions came from inside a hotel?!

Edit: article already revised. Now it says practically nothing. Said there were two "booms" from inside a hotel near the finish line.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Holy crap, be safe Boston.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Works for me.

Weird. This one works for me http://video.foxnews.com/v/1155606216001/

Some of you people smh

 

[Keyser Soze]

I see glass outside a building in the videos.

So, logic says the explosion was inside that building?

at this point it could be literally anyone. so lets not fall back into old habits.

 

[oc]

Holy shit @ CBS Stream.. they're showing the same vid from 10 minutes ago. Smoke everywhere and in the background you can see the second explosion going off down the street!!

It is always more likely domestic.

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

Lets not be ridiculous.

 

[tkscz]

Damn that's awful. I hope we find out who did it.

Jesus fucking Christ don't start that shit now.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Most likely Islamic terrorism.

there is zero way to know that, don't jump to conclusions

 

[The Technomancer]

pic. scary....

NSFW - sorry

Jesus christ. Why? Why would anyone bomb a race?

 

[slightconfuse]

jesus

 

[Camp Lo]

Damn. I can't even speculate because we have people abroad and in the country who would do some crazy shit like this. I hope everyone makes it through (I don't know if fatalities have been confirmed)

 

[Fantomex]

I feel so bad for these people. I just hope that It was some accidental propane tank or a gas mishap and not something deliberately done to hurt people.

 

[Kevtones]

Fuck, a friend of mine from Oregon flew back there to be in the race. Holy fuck.

Really bro, really?

 

[The_Monk]

Why things like these keep happening is just beyond me. Ugh...

 

[TimeEffect]

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

Could be domestic. Look at the string of violent gun massacres in the U.S.

Someone could easily wanted to be the next big thing, and bombs are even a more cowardly tactic, ensuring that a killer could strike again if not caught.

 

[MThanded]

Post office truck with no one in it. Double parked.

something about a mailbox?

Wow.

 

[makingmusic476]

What the fuuuuck. I hope everyone turns out alright.

 

[paully]

video on CNN is just awful. What a horrible sight

 

[Meelow]

Weird coincidence that the Boston Marathon and this happened on the same time.

I give my thoughts out to the families effected by this.

"suspect packages on boyleston" - Police scanner

I'm sure there are a lot of unattended bags that people may have left behind when the explosion happened. It's going to take a while to go through all of that.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Holy crap.

 

[anaron]

Just saw the photos...jesus christ.


Hoping the best for those directly affected and anyone else in the area, stay safe.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

:-(

Hope there are no deaths. Stay safe boston-gaf


First thought that popped into my head is this is the exact plot of four lions never think of things like marathons being targeted

 

[K.Jack]

Holy shit what

 

[Martian]

Let's not jump to conclusions...

Yes, let's not get carried away

Just await more reports before we jump to conclusions

 

[Veitsev]

CNN overhead shows a lot of blood.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Let's not jump to conclusions...

Yeah, it's just speculation. I wasn't trying to say anything about Islam either, more just to distinguish that I think, if this is a terrorist act, it's a lot more likely to originate from outside the country than from a domestic group.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

This is horrible. I hope there are no deaths.

 

[pulga]

FUCK this is horrible.

Hope the casualties are kept to a minimum, need to find out if my friends in Boston are okay.

Stay stafe and hope you are well, BostonGAF.

Son of a bitch.

[Guevara]

Another device in front of Mandarin Hotel.

 

[JMizzlin]

This is like some Four Lions shit

 

[Ephemeris]

Wow :-(

 

[Fantastical]

There's a video that shows just after the first explosion and then the second explosion.

EDIT: It gets both explosions, I missed the first part.

 

[marrec]

Oh wow it does.

The quality is terrible but you can see the moment of the explosion.

 

[Dug]

Some guy on the radio says there is another device?
