MAJOR Explosion at Boston Marathon

I just saw ~50 really graphic photos from the bombing on buzzfeed, all I can say from that is the dismemberment rumor is very true. e____________e

I won't even attempt to make speculations on who did this or why, it's entirely up in the air at this point.​

Well, domestic terrorism then. Shouldn't be an Al Qaeda-exclusive term.

Apparently the fire department uncovered a third detonated device.

You're right. But it is usually everyone's first conclusion here, especially given that this is a major American city.

And yeah, I had heard there was a third & possible fourth device that was diffused by bomb squad not too long ago.
 
..I went to the JFK Library with my grandmother and father, one of the best days of my life. I know some people that go to these Marathons, I don't know if they are injured or not, but it's still pretty scary. I really hope that everybody else is going to be okay and I hope that the families that may have lost their loved ones be okay.
 
CNN is reporting that the number of people injured has risen from 28 to 49, with the Boston Globe reporting over 100 injured, and that number will probably continue to rise, unfortunately.

Prayers are with everyone in Boston and all those affected in this crisis.

Damn it Biden, it's still too early for that! But it might just turn out to be a bombing. Maybe homegrown terrorism? Another misunderstood teenager?

Yeah, that's all it would take. One person could definitely do something like this, it doesn't have to be some big evil organization.
 
I seriously hope there isn't anymore bombings or explosions that happen today or even anytime soon. This is just horrific. Any PC users near or in Boston just please stay inside your home and be safe.
 
I don't think I can ask the question, "What is wrong with our world?" anymore. This is truly a tragedy. What really hits me is that this marathon was specially dedicated to the kids from Newtown, so for this to happen now, I'm absolutely horrified. This feels all to familiar to me from when 9/11 occurred. Albeit not on as large of a scale, but still as effective and tragic on top of the third explosion at the JFK library.
 
Someone who sets up a bomb probably want to make a statement. Maybe nobody's taking responsibility yet because they want the death count to go up? I like the motivation in the army soldiers. The explosion doesn't seem that big though - maybe a couple ounces of explosive?
 
President Barack Obama will address the nation at 6:10 PM EST, in about 20 minutes from now.

Although nobody knows who did committed this yet, it seems like this was an act of domestic terrorism given the types of bombs used. Apparently they were homemade. Regardless, this seems like it was very well-coordinated.
 
It's just so disgusting to read of terrorist attacks like this... not only at a marathon with tens of thousands of people, but at a memorial service for those poor children at Sandy Hill. It's even more disgusting to see that an act of (presumably) domestic terrorism has, this time, succeeded to a degree. My full condolences to anyone who was killed or seriously injured in this attack; this is simply horrific...
 
Whoever is responsible for this certainly knew what they were doing. It definitely seems more like a domestic act of terrorism than anything else though. Whether it was by the hand of one man or many.
 
I was kinda hoping this was a suicide bomb and that the two reported dead were those responsible, but no... Reports that an eight-year-old child was one of the fatalities

Messed up.
 
This attack might not have been too difficult. The person might've hidden two small packages that very day. The Boston police says that the Saudi national suspect is not true.
