Boston Bombing, Boston Marathon April 15th

[Liquid]

In reference to the Oslo shootings, you cannot and should not discount the possibility that this was the actions of a domestic group or individual.

I bet Kims on the blower right now to Obama.
"I was down my mates house all night,I've got nothing to do with it ".

 

[MisterWhiskers]

I wouldn't be so sure about it being Al-Qaeda - anyone remember Anders Breivik and Timothy McVeigh?

Especially for the 77 killings.

The JFK Library is about 4 miles away from the Finish Line for the Boston Marathon.

Its pretty far across town, so the JFK Library is not near the Finish Line at all. Strange if the two incidents are related since they aren't really that close together.

Respectfully,

See my other post, the controlled explosion was reportedly opposite the Boston library, which looks to be very close to the finish line.

Thanks for the info.

Get real. It's not North Korea. More likely, it's a group like al qaeda saying, "Hey, don't forget about us," etc., if it's international. After all the things we've done and continue to do (Libya, Syria, etc.), you can bet there are people out there that are still pretty incensed. They don't forget.

Could be domestic in origin too. Hell, we saw someone shoot an elementary school so this is not outside the imagination as horrible as that may seem.

I agree, it's probably not NK, but the work of an amatuer. But, my mind at least, can't 100% rule out a NK involvement. Their past attacks and current intentions keep a 10% possibility rolling around for me. All I'm saying.

You know the last mile of the marathon was dedicated to the victims of the Sandyhook massacre in Conneticut..and when the Vice-president was informed of the explosions he was taking a conference call with gun actavites..

Proof? That's quite the statement.

From the Boston Herald.

A specially designed marker stands tall for all marathoners to see just before the final dash to the finish line with the green colors of Sandy Hook school splashed on it with the Newtown municipal seal on the bottom. There are also 26 stars circling the town emblem, one for every life lost.

Here's the link.

Also, from NBCnews.com

Vice President Joe Biden, speaking in a previously scheduled conference call dealing with gun-control efforts in congress, opened by saying, "Prayers are with those people in Boston who have suffered injuries." Biden said he did not know how many injuries had been suffered.

Link.

This is terrible news. My heart goes out to those injured and to Boston.

Boston PD have said this isn't true on their twitter feed

I'm taking what the NY post says with a grain of salt. They are also the only site I've seen claiming that 10 are dead and 50+ are injured.

 

[Slash]

JFK explosion ruled fire related, not an explosion anymore.


Unconfirming what they confirmed?

 

[AOS-]

It could very well be none of the well-known terrorists and rather some nutcase(s) with access to firepower.

This seems a lot more plausible than the assumption of even just the thought of North Korea being responsible.

IMO.

That article is saying there's 12 confirmed dead. Last time I checked there was 2 confirmed deaths, no?

 

[Spagetti69]

Does anyone remember after the 9/11 tragedy when they supposedly found Passports in the rubble. Can't remember who reported that nonsense.

They didn't did they? I'm not sure now.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

That article is saying there's 12 confirmed dead. Last time I checked there was 2 confirmed deaths, no?

Everything the NY Post has said so far has been confirmed false. Including the stories of arrests being made.

 

[disinfected]

The New York Post is essentially a tabloid, not a credible news source.

 

[Furinkazen]

BBC still say 2 dead, 23+ injured.

 

[Sprite]

Truly shocked. Thoughts go out to those in Boston.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

BBC still say 2 dead, 23+ injured.

As does Sky news...

 

[Dennisch]

CNN reports that Boston Globe reports (newsception) 100+ injuries, 6 critical, and still 2 deaths.

 

[Slash]

NBC reported 100+ injuries.

 

[Furinkazen]

Yeah, BBC an Sky are most reliable sources I have found here in the UK at least.


So what's the JFK Library situation? It's kinda confusing me now - firstly not a bomb, then a bomb, then not a bomb again??

 

[Slash]

They confirmed it was a mechanical fire. Not a bomb. Again.

 

[Ken]

CBS keeps showing the video of the bomb going off and the runner falling. They are sure the concussive force knocked him down. Only him. Geez, it wasn't the shock of the noise or being scared :censored:less. I swear, in the time of disasters, news reporters and bug zappers have the same IQ.

 

[Furinkazen]

They confirmed it was a mechanical fire. Not a bomb. Again.

That's slightly more reassuring. If still eerily coincidental.

Warning: Graphic Image.

[Mod edit] Description: Man with legs blown off below the knee being transported to the hospital. Exposed tibia and dangling nerve/tendon/ligaments. Looks like he was right next to the bomb and he's lost a lot of blood-- thank goodness they were able to get a tourniquet on the wounds.

Cell phone service was not shut off as initially reported.

That picture was absolutely disgusting. Oh my god. Dear god. That has to hurt so bad.
