CNN showing the boston.com vid. And my god, we're gonna have quite a culling of posters in this thread later on. Please, stop leaping to conclusions about who may be responsible, you're only making yourselves look stupid
 
The only thing these tragic threads are great for is for weeding out the psychos and assholes on this forum.

Thoughts and prayers for the victims. Got a buddy living up there and he was supposed to run it today, but fortunately had to bartend.
 
Almost took out the day for the Marathon. Holy fuck. Just bananas. Hard to grasp how some scumbags goal in life is to make people afraid to live life.

My mom's hotel is on the other side of the street. The building with all the windows between the two explosions. Very much understand why she was crying as soon as I picked up the phone now. Shit is so fucking crazy. It's hard to wrap my head around being there.

Am I in bizzaro land that Fox news is the most watchable news network right now?

Fox does pretty good live news stuff, actually. I usually end up turning them on when big stuff like this happens.

And Shep's not bad. I'd definitely take him over Wolf Blitzer any day of the week.

Really? Really?! A guys life is changed in an instant by some barbaric act and you describe it as cool?! Please leave, you can not be serious.

oh cmon, people have had the same joke post type reactions in many threads where people's lives were changed by a disaster.
 
holy fuck what is wrong with people??? This is so messed up! Fucking terrorism, and no I am not referring to muslims/middle eastern people. They better find the person or people who did this ASAP!

Also, why do posters here have the need to post dumb shit.
 
One of the worst days in my life was the 11-M bombings in Madrid. It was just terrible. All this videos, all this histories of people killed just because they went to early to work or to the university... Terrible, just terrible.

I just can't understand what can lead a person to cause so much pain and suffering to random people.

Fuck.
 
God fucking damn it! Why the hell does shit like this have to happen. CNN just played a perfectly clear HD video of a guy right on the finish line. The echo of both explosions and the people screaming just sent massive chills down my spine.

I can't imagine what its like for those people who were running their first marathons. My girlfriend is an active runner and she said she was very proud working up and completing her half-marathon so I imagine that people completing their first marathon would be huge to them as well.

And now their first marathon, something that they've spent years working hard for, is now a memory ruined by a shitbag (group of?) for no good reason.

you need to be qualify to run in the Boston Marathon, there is a time requirement. You also need to have run a marathon before
 
White van stopped on parade ground in Boston Common. Driver on ground next to vehicle. Area being cleared.

Someone didn't do their job and screwed up security somewhere. How did these explosives go unnoticed before the race, especially at the finish line?
