Now the rumors are there was a third explosion at the JFK Library?

(My Massachuchets friend just facebook'd it?)

 

[iceatcs]

How long was the second explosion after the first one?

Not the right Irish Car Bomb.

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

Just fucking leave you piece of shit.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Reading Boston.com's live feed seems like the police and SWAT are chasing down devices all over the city

 

[Diablohead]

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

I watched the explosion video but that is the line, not looking at anything else as it's too fucked up.

Poor guy...

God that's horrific...had to be VERY close to detonation site.

 

[Victory Red]

Saw the video of the finish line and first explosion. Camera runs directly to the blast. The balls on some people.

Gives me chills

what is Anon up to?

People in Boston, open up your WiFi nodes and download OpenGarden mesh-net app for your computing device. | #OpBoston #Anonymous

Phones are down. Opening up communication lines for people trying to get in touch with family and friends.

I live 10 minutes away from JFK Library. This is too real for me.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

"Report of fire in Chicago subway was minor fire not newsworthy event. No smoke conditions. Units leaving scene."

 

[malfcn]

Props to all responders. Terrifying.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Now the rumors are there was a third explosion at the JFK Library?

Confirmed by commissioner

 

[Zoe]

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

RT @Suntimes @CFDMedia Report of fire in Chicago subway was minor fire not newsworthy event. No smoke conditions. Units leaving scene.

Not funny.

That wheelchair pic of the guy, holy fuck, I would be passed out from that

 

[MThanded]

Twitter talk about bomb at tufts medical center. Nothing besides social media talk right now.

Please be safe friend...

I feel sick to my stomach.

I'm sure this has been posted but boston.com is back up and their live blog is pretty informative: http://live.boston.com/Event/Live_blog_Explosion_in_Copley_Square

 

[Acid08]

Seriously guys, Boston NPR link had been and non-sensationalist talk right now

Live stream here.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

The picture of the guy's leg blown off is... odd. I keep on looking at it as a way of trying to understand it. If that makes any sense.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

One event ruin lives of hundreds of people, that was created by hands of several. What terrifying that this has no point at all.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

How long was the second explosion after the first one?

They second bomb went off just a few seconds after the first.

 

[Nevasleep]

RT reporting fire and smoke in a chicago subway. https://twitter.com/RT_com

Small electrical fire apparently, not related (for now).

 

[Zero-Crescent]

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

Did they confirm it, or did they just say "The New York Post reports that..." (i.e. just repeating the story)?

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Holy hell WTH is going on, stay safe BostonGAF and everyone else in Boston.

 

[Tenrius]

Now the rumors are there was a third explosion at the JFK Library?

They just confirmed it on BBC.

Google created a person finder for people in Boston.

That guy in the wheelchair.... damn. I'm lost for words.


Best of luck Boston.

 

[serplux]

The Boston Symphony concert at Symphony Hall scheduled for tonight will not take place.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

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

Good to know there are others out there who figured Dan Bernstein would be the right guy to listen to instead of the standard news outlets.

 

[FOOTE]

How long was the second explosion after the first one?

about 5 seconds after the first from what I gathered from the video

 

[The Lamonster]

You're a real piece of shit, you know that?

Where is all this rage coming from, guy?

 

[Archer]

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

WRONG.

April 19, 1995

[lenovox1]

Still skeptical.

As we all should be until the FBI official confirms these reports. There will lots of false information floating around during the initial hours this event.

FOX News isn't describing the person of interest that they believe is in custody.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Damn...hopefully no more people hurt or killed from this.

What a completely stupid and useless act.

Why would you make a joke about something like this?

Crazy video - no gore thankfully

Confusing info everywhere. Was this a controlled detonation or not? I heard it was the former.

Hi, I'm Irish, and this is pretty offensive. Seeya!

Shock and adrenaline...

 

[Harry_Tequila]

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

Huh? I just watched a press conference with the police commissioner saying that it was a third explosion...

 

[Vilix]

Those events happened on 4/19.

That's what Jake Tapper said on CNN. I should've checked it out myself.

 

[Javaman]

Cell phone service shut down in Boston to prevent any remote controlled detonations through the use of cellphones.

I seriously doubt that.

Yep. Was using it while GAF was down earlier. Some of the pics & video posted, heartbreaking.

Controlled detonation was a different detonation. This wasn't controlled.
