Garbage fire. Completely unrelated according to 670 The Score in Chicago.

Fox News is confirming the NY Post article about guarding a suspect.

Yeah I'll wait for one more source.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Fox is confirming NYPost's custody report for what it's worth. Authorities haven't confirmed if victim or perpetrator

 

[Keyser Soze]

If someone posts a random LiveLeak image URL... DO NOT CLICK IT UNLESS YOU WANT NIGHTMARES

 

[Amakusa]

It is weird how the definition of this word has changed since 9/11. Someone set off bombs. They are a terrorist.

Setting off a bomb causes a lot of terror...

 

[RoKKeR]

"That" picture is on the front page of the CNN mobile app.

Ugh.

 

[B-Dubs]

Fox News is confirming the NY Post article about guarding a suspect.

Same parent corporation. Wait for independent confirmation or another news source.

 

[DrFunk]

Just seeing a far away picture of the JFK Library, looks bad.

No injuries, only a fire in the mechanical room

Jokes aside, I can't wait to see the wrath that befalls the culprit of this attack

Today's the anniversary of Waco and the OKC bombing.

It's tax day. I think there's a pretty good chance that these are tea partiers / survivalists

 

[Joel Was Right]

Fox is reporting a source that there is a "person of interest" in custody. Likely to be the same source as the one NY Post is reporting, although how they've determined nationality so quickly is beyond me

 

[Mistake]

I was born and raised in Boston, but not there now. You go to run a race and this happens, what the hell. Stay safe everyone

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.

Your sources beat my sources!

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Damn, I hope the damage is limited :/ such a terrible thing to happen. Sorry I haven't read much of the thread, is there any news who or why this horrible event happen?

 

[Drencrom]

Hi-res photos of the guy who lost his legs are floating around. Those of a weak stomach be warned.

Poor guy...

 

[MThanded]

Fox News is confirming the NY Post article about guarding a suspect.

Still skeptical.

 

[Raticus79]

The reddit /r/worldnews mods keep deleting posts on this because it's "US news". These is no story on this on the front page of reddit. What the hell.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

left vs right

Uh, no. It's sleazy as fuck.

 

[TalesOfWin]

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

well you know thread is moving kinda fast so dont be a dick.

No it isn't.

They're both Newscorp entities.

 

[Ya no]

Had a cousin running, finally just heard she finished 5 minutes before the explosions and is ok...just scary

 

[Magnus]

Seeing and hearing the second explosion go off in that boston.com vid....like an echo in the background. Haunting, awful.

Odds are they are just sharing info since they are part of the same parent company, wait for another source to pick up on it. Preferable AP.

Nope, that's Friday.

What are they confirming? That there is an article?

Update 45 (5:03 PM ET): Cellphone service shut down in Boston to prevent remote detonations of explosives, official says: http://apne.ws/ZwBMKb

This doesn't make me feel any better. I'm not going to jump to any conclusions but after seeing that video, my stomach is doing flops.

Yeah, just read all the details.

Good that nobody got hurt.

 

[Jb]

Freedom of the press and duty to inform?

Of what? People got shrapnel in their bodies and/or are missing limbs? How is seeing a photo of it freedom of speech? It's like watching videos of prisoners being executed, it's just disrespectful to the victim.

 

[Camp Lo]

Today's the anniversary of Waco and the OKC bombing.

The Waco siege began on Sunday, February 28
The Oklahoma City bombing was a terrorist bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995

Fuck you dude.

Chicago now? Hate to say it, but I am starting to feel shades of 9/11.

*Edit* False alarm. Nevermind.

 

[VALIS]

Horrible stuff. Local friends and in-laws all seem accounted for, thankfully. One friend was there minutes earlier and decided to walk up to the river and read a book. Fortuitous timing.

Reports of Marathon Runners that crossed finish line and continued to run to Mass General Hospital to give blood to victims #PrayforBoston

— NBC Sports Network (@NBCSN)

That's one of the most heroic things I've ever heard.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Fox is reporting a source that there is a "person of interest" in custody. Likely to be the same source as the one NY Post is reporting, although how they've determined nationality so quickly is beyond me

Usually they see nationality then write the headline when it comes to those two organizations.

Brown person seen talking to cops

Typical headline: "Local police talk to witness."
NY Post: "Police arrest Saudi in connection to terrorist attack."

Let's not forget that Fox was the first to run the wrong photo and name of the Newton gunman.

 

[Candeldandel]

I believe cell service is down, which is why nobody is texting.

Cell service has been shut off in an attempt to prevent more detonations

I see. That is important, buuuut I'm still super worried FFS.

 

[Hex]

They have a suspect in custody

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/authorities_under_suspect_guard_y2m8cJO29uC2PDGIjYBalO

As has been said, NY Post is a tabloid, with little credibility.
