Explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon

[g5jamz]

Reports are now there are at least three dead and dozens seriously injured. Fox News also reporting the only thing that makes since is a terror attack, nothing accidental.

I remember watching Good Morning America the morning of 9/11. They were showing footage of smoke billowing out of a hole from one of the towers and saying that a small plane or something had hit the building. Then...out of nowhere the other plane hit the other towel. My words to my wife sitting next to me on the couch were, "holy crap...we're under attack".

This was absolutely planned. This is absolutely meant to terrorize the populace. Not good at all.

can someone merge this with the thread going on in the tinderbox?

So explosions were on opposite sides of the street. Reports of one in a trashcan one maybe in a building. Also initial reports of ball bearings.

I remember living in London and there was nowhere to put your trash because they outlawed trashcans

I mean it's obviously a terror attack of some kind, witnesses are saying it appeared to be trash cans exploding... that's horrible.

I hope they find whoever did it, and no, this is no time for politics.

When I posted that many different sources were reporting it could be something accidental, but now with all these facts in it is pretty obvious.

source?

I feel so bad for the folks up there. Ball bearings are like a buckshot. Can you imagine being sprayed with multiple blasts from a shotgun.

Man, I hope there were no kids close to this.
