The parttimer at my work apparently has not heard from her mom yet. Her mom was done but was waiting for her husband at the finish line. No idea if she's okay or not.

just heard that they may have found two more possible explosives.

Nicki:  By all means.  I actually picked the term up from my dad, so go ahead.

Also, to everybody else, I'm getting my news from Fark right now, with CBS on behind me.  Fark has five or six links up on their main page.

Bloomberg is running a live stream of the incident, for anyone looking to stay up-to-date on the situation.

On a side note, I get that FB can be a downright strange place sometimes, but the absolute lack of people on my friend's list who seem to have noticed this is a little surprising.

Bombs at the Boston Marathon
« Reply #18 on: April 15, 2013, 04:42:50 pm »
About 2:50 local time, at least 1 explosion went off at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Eyewitnesses reported 2 explosions, but local officials said it is possible it was just 1 explosion that sounded like 2.

According to Boston Police, there have been 2 fatalities and 23 injured.

I cannot help thinking domestic terrorism. The leaders had crossed the finish line about an hour before, but, of course, other runners were still coming through.

Snagging a few comments from Maddow Blog...

Quote
I have a feeling this is all that Anti-Government coming home to roost

Quote
e don't know much right now but the first place to look are those anti-government right winged militia groups. These right winged groups are afraid they have lost their country with President Obama getting reelected. Personally, I have been expecting more domestic terrorism attacks from these anti-government groups but like I see it is too preliminary to jump to conclusions.


Edit: Some comments from a friend of mine who grew up in Ireland during The Troubles.

Quote
Bombs: the ultimate weapon of the coward. Swift justice on whoever is responsible for this.

 Always were, always will be. The Troubles, the Omagh bombing, Canary Wharf, Oklahoma City, Unabomber, the Warrington bombs, Dublin and Monaghan bombing, proxy bombing - all of them. Fucking cowards who do it.

This is what happens when fuckheads make bombs. It's that simple. I grew up around this shit and hated it then and hated it now. A few utter degenerates murdering innocents - that's all.

I don't wanna hear how evil the US/Ireland/Iraqis are. That's bullshit. There is *no* possible justification or provocation for murdering innocent citizens. (This was in answer to someone saying this is what happens when a government does things that piss people off.)

Well it's not really fair to jump to conclusions with out actual information as to what happened.
To say it's right wing domestic terrorism is no more fair than saying that this was a false flag created by anti gun and violence groups to start banning guns.

So the parttimer's mom is okay, but no word on the husband. A couple other people I know may have been down there too.  I don't think I'll stop worrying until I hear from them.

This may sound selfish, but I'm kind of glad my mom isn't running it this year.

I know people were being asked not to use cell phones to avoid possibly triggering any other devices that had been planted. I'm sure cell volume is insane anyway, so hopefully that's the reason.

From what's being reported on the BBC 24 channel, it seems to have been aimed at the crowd.
