NY Post is the least reputable paper in NY. I hope everyone is ok. I have a brother in Boston and he texted me to let me know he's good.
 
Why do people share graphic photos of victims on forums and twitter? Disrespectful sickos.

It allows people to get the fullest possible picture of what happened. During this period of confusion, people will post any scrap of information they may come across.

If you're offended or upset by the graphic nature of certain images or events, I'd suggest starting away from this thread for a little while. At least until we get a clearer idea of what happened.
 
An absolutely horrific event, the photographs and videos are terrifying. My thoughts go to all those that have been effected and my thanks to all of the emergency personnel that are currently attending the scene (and indeed any other scenes where suspicious devices have been found) and treating others.
 
Christ. Stay safe and strong Boston-GAF.

I wonder if anyone is going to take credit. Attacking such a high-profile, highly-attended event just screams terrorism, or at least heavy premeditation. :-/
 
Just seeing a far away picture of the JFK Library, looks bad, but from what everyone else said it might be just a unrelated fire.

I meant disrespectful towards the victims.
 
Goddamnit, I just heard about this :( Now I'm worried about my friends in the area, and they won't text me back...

SO fucked. Why.

They've shutdown cellphone service in the city supposedly. I don't know if that includes text messages, but it may be why they can't reach you.

Read the previous pages before perpetuating the misinformation based on assumption based on incomplete information. That was (thankfully) an unrelated fire.

Boston Police Commissioner confirmed that it was an explosion.

The game between the Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins scheduled for tonight at TD Garden has been postponed, the National Hockey League announced today.

The game will be rescheduled. The date and time will be announced at a later date.

The National Hockey League wishes to express its sympathy to all affected by the tragic events that took place in Boston earlier this afternoon.
 
I hate how sensationalist crap has to attempt to tie it in, in some way with something else just to make it a bigger story. People are dead, that's enough.
