Boston Marathon Bombing

[Little-Acorn]

Mr Bastajian adds: "We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated... At least 25-30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing.''

That's a lot of leg injuries.

A device (or devices) on the ground?

A device that sprays out shrapnel horizontally?

If so, it was carefully planned to cause the most injury to persons.

Something that blew shrapnel equally in all directions (including upward), would mostly injure only the people within a few feet of it. But if it's designed to spray only horizontally, that can get people fifty or a hundred feet away. And in that location at that time, you're talking hundreds of people.

This was no tax protest.

So many experts in such a short time! Why don't you people wait for the official reports on this before writing your story lines? I for one, do not care one tinker's damn what you THINK might have happened.

Just a heads up.

In the last few days there have been a srting of bombings in iraq and somalia. Gotta wonder if AQ is trying to make a statement.

 

[Misty]

Reports that it may have been an accident.

I hope it was an accident, we're tired of terrorism.

....And, Tim-McVeigh-style PRO-gun folks!!!!​

Shut up!!!!

 

[Little-Acorn]

Get a grip. Security isn't that tight.

Really?

Oops.

[Little-Acorn]

Yea, just found out via fb my cousin who runs marathons all the time didn't go, but she asks for pprayers for her friends that did.

I'm surprised Disney World hasn't been hit yet...in any location, actually. Talk about a big target. I am thinking it is more difficult to get bombs IN the parks. But a marathon? Very open to the public. Sigh. The whole thing sucks. And finding who did it..well...with the train directly underneath, those responsible are long gone by now.

My wife and I went to Disney last Thurs and Fri and I was thinking the same thing.
We had to leave our weapons in the car as they aren't allowed in the parks.
I felt so vulnerable, couldn't wait to leave.

You're a sick fucker. Get help.

 

[Misty]

Shut up!!!!

Misty, please don't feed the trolls.

You're right please forgive. He won't shut up anyway as you can see.

Tried that. No response.

FAA grounded airlines at Boston & other cities.

Cell Service Deactivated to prevent more bomb detonations.

A 3rd explosion has occurred at the JFK library.

Other unexploded bombs have been found.

 

[Gracie]

Wow. The JFK was NOT just an electircal fire. They are reporting it was an explosion.

 

[Luissa]

It could have been either a left wing or right wing nut job, but I would put money on this being a domestic terrorist.
