Very sad situation. My heart felt condolensces and prayers go out to all the injured. When it comes to suspects and motivations, Has anyone mentioned anything about north korea? Although i don't think this is something they would dare do. Sleeper agents?

They're mostly talk and little action, so I doubt they had anything to do with it.

To me, it honestly feels like a domestic terrorist, if it was a bigger group, they'd be claiming responsibility the second it happened.

Anyways, it's not the time or place for that.

As for the people of Boston, my heart goes out to everyone who was effected by this horrible act and I can't wait until the person(s) responsible are brought to justice.

I'm not saying you did or didn't, was just clarifying as you seemed to not get the reference.

no i got it, it just doesn't apply to what i was saying at all, even metaphorically.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

CNN saying its a terrorist attack? Did I hear that right?

I mean, what else would it be at this point?

 

[lmpaler]

All those people trying to get to the injured after the first bombing, man, way to be awesome. Seriously.


GAF went down when I first started reading this thread awhile ago. Someone please cliff note me.

What is up in NJ?
Realted to this or not?
I heard about the possible suspect in the hospital and the man detained in the park.

Anything else?


One thing I think is disgusting about this is that it was a at a fucking marathon. Just an innocent run that so many people do every year, probably for a good cause too, and some fuckwads do this shit.

I hope they die a very slow and painful death.

I don't know, perhaps in a fast moving thread he thinks he can get away with it. Hopefully since we bring attention to it, the mods will pick up on it.

Just report him.

I would refrain from taking anything from CNN seriously

 

[params7]

Just saw this on twitter...

Dunno if it means anything, but figured I'd post it...

People can walk on roofs and watch the marathon right?

Or does it look like an alien?

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

My girlfriend is an np at childrens hospital Boston. She gets emailed on all the admissions to the hospita. It looks like they may have had 3 children admitted that were near the blast. Fuuu, she works at 6 and just left. I asked her to call when she gets there. So paranoid right now.

It's likely an exercise, as the scanner isn't blowing up with chatter.

Thanks, seems like there is no need for concern about that.

 

[Devolution]

Some of the speculation is getting a bit too much. Has no one ever watched a big event from a rooftop before?

 

[Dance Inferno]

Where can we watch Obama's speech in 20 mins?

My brother, a 2nd year resident at Mass General, just got called in, and the Commons pics are crazy I was there eating lunch a couple of hours ago.

Not to entice the populace, but BBC and Al jazeera (sp?) both have all the vids and pics the morbid GAFfers wan't. Please go there and rejoice and leave us alone. Sorry, but I have to deal with a crying 3 year old that thinks her mom is going away for a long time again.

People are confused and want to know what is going on, you shouldn't throw that at them like it's something to be ashamed of.

I'm sure you're very distraught and I wish you only the best, but it's important that people are aware of the consequences of such actions.

Sorry but why are you here , it seem sa 3 year old crying is so much important than being here complaining...

 

[Kyoufu]

This is awful

They haven't confirmed if the library explosion was related or not, but the timing of it would surely suggest it is, no?

No reports of anything happening in NJ as of now. There is no suspect being detained in anyway anywhere as of yet.

 

[Escape Goat]

Where can we watch Obama's speech in 20 mins?

Any major broadcast will air a President's live press conference and preempt anything thats currently airing.

 

[Bsigg12]

CNN saying its a terrorist attack? Did I hear that right?

A terrorist attack is anything with the intent to hurt innocent people. Who the people/person is that did it is the biggest question but priority is to make sure no one else dies.

 

[GenericBadGuy]

Where can we watch Obama's speech in 20 mins?

Likely everywhere once it airs.

 

[MG310]

On the NJ thing they were doing explosives related exercises at Weapons Station Earle in Monmouth County earlier this week so there may have been something like that scheduled in Morris County for this week as well.

 

[MBison]

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

Why is this guy not banned?

Not to mention possible security personnel...

 

[Keyser Soze]

Where can we watch Obama's speech in 20 mins?

Every news channel in America

 

[ronito]

So much FUD

 

[Borgnine]

A sinister silhouette on a rooftop doesn't mean anything, you guys are thinking of a Hitchock movie.

Also do not click the wheelchair guy pic. Do not, I'm serious.

 

[Dance Inferno]

I'm at work, no TV access. Any internet links?

 

[MThanded]

The idiot shaming is almost as bad as the idiots at this point. Don't feed them. Let the mods sort it out

Commenting is one thing . Compiling their posts is another.

 

[Syph Medwes]

It will no doubt be on CNN and probably MSNBC

EDIT: nvm didn't see your reply

 

[LyleLanley]

Seriously, it's probably just someone who had a great view of the marathon.

 

[Oozer3993]

Via Fox New: A spokesman for Brigham and Woman's hospital just gave an impromptu press conference and said they have not had any amputations yet, but some of the injuries may require them eventually.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I honestly don't get how people can jump to conclusions and immediately start pointing fingers at certain religious groups without even knowing anything.

[lenovox1]

NBC News Reporting:

Fast moving thread, and all that jazz, but that has indeed been debunked by the authorities via CNN.

 

[jbug617]

The expert that was on CNN (20 mins go) was talking about based on the video of the explosion this could have been more bad.

 

[slightconfuse]

they have it was an electrical fire. unrelated to the oter bombs

Boston police reported its not related and no one was injured in that fire.

 

[Drencrom]

Just woke up to this and the explosions in Iraq.

Good morning world

The media hardly cares about bombs going off in the middle east/syria

 

[i-Lo]

Can't wait for the shit storm to subside to get a clear indication of what has transpired.

 

[Rebel Leader]

people on my fb feed blaming this bombing on obama's lack of leadership.

wow.

Unfirend them

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Yeah...

I'll stay on GAF.

Oh it gets better. You should see all the comments where people said that it was staged by democrats in order to take away more rights.

It's beyond absurd and stupid.

Don't stress if she can't reach you, the lines are probably overburdened.

Stay strong man, she's a hero in my book.

For the benefit of people who were using it: the Reddit thread providing some of the updates has been archived, and further updates will be posted in a second Reddit thread.

Holy shit just found out about this. This is getting absolutely crazy.

Boston PD debunked it a little while ago.

thos with amputations probably went to mass general. I think they are the better placce to go for amputations, based only on nantional rankings
