I'll come back to this story when the details are ironed out and the gore gets proper gore warnings. My sick day feels like eating ice cream now after seeing wheelchair guy.

Bizarre how the NY Post can report 20 dead right after the police report 2. How do those things stay in print?
 
Wow, that picture is terrible. This whole thing is sad. Feel bad for any affected, and while it's extremely unlikely, I hope those responsible pay for this.

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.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the flesh was rapidly burned away, leaving only the bone.

I feel a little queasy after accidentally looking at the HR image. Fuck me.

That image is NSFL, not only NSFW. Seriously people, don't click it.
 
MSNBC just had a congressman mention that there were five bombs in play. We have the first two, the one at JFK Library..where, exactly, did the information of the other two surface?

Makes sense. It's hard for people to see those kind of pictures and try to make sense of them.

And for the love of god people stop quoting the shitty joke. It only keeps it relevant and pisses more people off.

There was another bomb that was successfully defused and I dunno about the 5th.
 
Not the right Irish Car Bomb.

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

why? to both remarks. I understand you want to lighten things up, but right now? with so many people confused and terrified? What makes you think that this was the right idea? and then inferring that you can't wait to see someone get punished for this? Just for revenge? You done fucked up.
 
Boston Police: No Arrests Have Been Made In Marathon Bombing

A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

"At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.

The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.

"Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.

The Post report was attributed to "a law enforcement source." According to the Post, the "suspect" is "currently being guarded in a Boston hospital."
 
As a runner who lives in Boston, I am beyond mortified by what happened today. Marathon Monday is my favorite day of the year and this is just horrific. Totally dumbstruck right now but thankful that all my friends are okay.

This is also the first year watching the marathon where I didn't stand at the finish line like I normally do, which is both a relief and fucking scary to think about. I ran the marathon last year but decided not to do it again this year. If I had, my time would have had me coming in at the finish right around when the explosions happened.

Absolutely chilling.
 
Just got in contact with my mom at Mass General. She said everyone at the hospital was a mess. Our cell phone service doesn't work at the moment.
