Can you give an example of another type of controlled explosion? I'm drawing a blank.

They have controlled explosions every time they denonate these devices, whether they were bombs or not.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Guys try not to get mad.... at each other?

not possible, unfortunately.

 

[Kinyou]

Look at this guy in the front in the orange/neon shirt: https://vine.co/v/bFdt5uwg6JZ

He barely flinches when it happens and doesn't even look over there, while everyone else looks. He just keeps running straight. Maybe he had a detonator

Seriously? You think one of the runners had a detonator? Seriously? What would be the point of that?

 

[Wario64]

Was a response to this, should you have missed it:

I see, hope all goes well

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Were they terrorists?

 

[blackflag]

Why?

It's not obvious?

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

He meant Newtown

Okay, that makes sense. Nothing happens in Newton. I go there quite often for wings but otherwise a quiet community

 

[Eighty Deuce]

The marathon was a tribute to newtown shootings? Maybe a second amendment gun nut?

What the fuck man

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Ugh. I hope we have seen all there is to see.

Lots of people killed/injured, but thank god the bombs weren't bigger.. it could have been worse. Still, they were big enough. =/

Extremely NSFW.

He clearly flinches and is at the tail end of running a marathon.

Are you kidding?

A controlled explosion means they cautiously blow up the 'device' or suspicious object they find in a way that is, well, controlled. Sometimes that object turns out not to be a bomb.

What devices?

 

[serplux]

I see flags of different countries. Was this an international marathon event held in Boston? Then suspect of terrorism is highly likely.

This is one of the most prestigious marathons in the world. Tons of international runners.

UPDATE: Reports of at least 12 dead, dozens more injured in Boston Marathon explosions http://nyp.st/ZlWY9t

TWELVE!?

fuck fuck

 

[Loxley]

Jesus, BBC just showed video of the bombs going off (because there are a million cameras covering the race), fucking horrifying.

They also said that apparently both explosions came from inside a hotel.

 

[Lombax]

ok I am bailing on this thread. Some people in here seriously the Fuck?

I don't this is fair either honestly.

I find it disgusting.

Any demolition occurring as expected under supervision of official resulting in no casualties.

Neither. What the fuck are you talking about?

You said you hope this was a crazy American group or else a lot of people are going to die. I assume you mean you hope it's not foreign terrorists since it will provoke some kind of large scale response?

[Vilix]

CNN is now saying it was an attack.

 

[Live Free or Die]

The marathon was a tribute to newtown shootings? Maybe a second amendment gun nut?

Reposting:

Too early and too little information to speculate on the causes. I suggest that if you're pretty sure it was Islamic terrorists, or North Korea, or the Tea Party, or a false flag operation so the US can attack Iran, that you keep it to yourself.

[Syph Medwes]

People need to stop speculating on the source of the explosions until we get concrete evidence. Stop placing blame!

That being said, CNN just reported 2 confirmed dead, 22 injured.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Were they terrorists?

don't know yet

He was outside of the blast radius. I don't think he fully comprehended what was going on. Are you really implicating the guy? stop.

 

[jmdajr]

According to Fox

AT LEAST 3 KILLED, DOZENS INJURED INCLUDING 10 AMPUTATIONS AS BLASTS RIP BOSTON MARATHON FINISH

 

[3rdman]

Like everyone else, my thoughts are with the people in Boston...stay safe!

I can't help but theorize like everyone else...Tax day...Boston Tea Party...I've convinced myself that this is domestic and I wonder if I'll be right...not that it matters of course...Shit...fucking assholes...

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Seriously? You think one of the runners had a detonator? Seriously? What would be the point of that?

I don't "think that", it was just an observation. Crazy overreactions to that post.

Holy crap, seriously? No one is implicating anyone, good lord. From one extreme to the other.

I can't get in contact with my friend. She's not answering her phone. Fuck fuck fuck.

Why is that nsfw. Looks okay to me..............

 

[deGod]

Just read the update on the controlled explosion. Glad they found it and detonated it.

Any info on this dc?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

TWELVE!?

fuck fuck

I am not sure where NY Post is getting their info.

Police have confirmed 2 dead.

 

[HerbertFish]

2 dead according to CNN. Wow awful.


And wow, this thread has really brought out the worst of posters.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I imagine that the bomb squad would have detonated anything that looked suspicious even if it wasn't a bomb.

 

[zero_suit]

Boston Police.

Damn

 

[Flek]

yeha newtown just asked because i didn't get the connection thx guys

 

[Rommel]

People in the medical tent who didn't make it

 

[Guevara]

Some runners are still running! Boston PD is having to divert/stop them.

 

[PBY]

I don't "think that", it was just an observation. Crazy overreactions to that post.

"I'm not saying it is, but hey, its an interesting coincidence" is how nutjobs get away with spewing all kinds of bullshit. Stop it man.

 

[Vermillion]

Guys, please stay within reasonable bounds of things we already know. The leaps here are... odd.

 

[Tobor]

2 confirmed dead. 2 confirmed injured.

That's from CBS News.

 

[Vesmir]

Keep in mind that some/all of these controlled explosions may simply be because there is something suspicious, but not necessarily related to the marathon explosions.

 

[Noirulus]

22 injured, 2 confirmed deaths.

RIP.

Hopefully the injured make a healthy recovery.
