04.15.13 | A bomb also went off in a library too
This is a bad sign |
CK
04.15.13 | There are reports saying that was unrelated, but I think it's a little too early for even news articles to be confirmed |
kris.
04.15.13 | nah, boston chief of police held a press conference about 20 minutes ago and they mentioned that they were fairly sure it was related but they don't believe anyone was injured in that one
not yet at least |
CK
04.15.13 | Oh, okay.
I may lock this thread soon or delete it because the other one was removed and I don't want a shitton of spam like the last one. If anybody has links to news, though, please share or shoutbox. Cell service is shit right now, understandably |

Yeah, after a couple spree shootings I just stopped giving a shit. If I cared about explosions I would watch a Michael Bay movie. |

04.15.13 | 2 dead, 100 injuries, 6 in critical condition, library incident unrelated, devices cannot yet be properly commented on |

04.15.13 | I'm on twitter right now getting an update literally every second from CBC, Telegraph, Forbes, Bloomberg, etc. Idk where you are getting your news from. |
CK
04.15.13 | I'm a bit skeptical about the 12 deaths, because I am seeing more recent and more local news reports still stating only 2 deaths as of now. Nobody will be completely certain for a few hours |
SeaAnemone
04.15.13 | NYPost reported the 12 deaths and that's an outlier among news outlets
not to be morbid but with all of the lost limbs reported we're likely going to see the death toll climb relatively higher in the next 12 hours |

04.15.13 | They never said the library was related, they were just treating it as such.
This is so early most information is just speculation |
FromDaHood
04.15.13 | Obama's got nothing to say right now, but I do agree, I felt like he was reading a form letter. |

FromDaHood
04.16.13 | it's probably just some domestic dude who watched a bunch of conspiracy theory documentaries on Netflix, decided he hates America and then took action. I don't mean to be flip but this is too small potatoes to be done by anything larger than a small group. 500,000 people attend the Marathon annually and you plant 4 (apparently low powered) bombs? That doesn't scream International Threat to me. |

04.16.13 | i dont understand how they can say 3 are confirmed dead when we've heard specific accounts of more than that:
8 year old kid
man with both legs blasted off
20 something year old woman with blasted torso and leg
30-40 something year old woman who suffered cardiac arrest
anbnnnnnndd now im drawing a blank but still |
DarkSideOfLucca
04.16.13 | Im sure the number of casualties will increase over the next couple days, maybe even weeks- a shit load of people were in critical condition, only 3 died immediately though |
