They showed a picture from across the river and the smoke cloud from the bombing, it was like a mini 9-11. It's a beautiful clear day and this smoke cloud goes by.
^Sorry, bro, I had to say something. This just... it's... sick... People are out there to have fun, prove something to themselves and then some... words I reserve for elsewhere... have to go and take it away...
I just got an update on my iPod, an intelligent official said that they found two more bombs. This is a bombing. I was hoping for gas leak.
Here's video someone took from their live TV screen of the actual explosion: https://vine.co/v/bFdt5uwg6JZ What kind of message does a terrorist intend to send by bombing a sporting event!? I can sort of understand the implied meaning of slamming planes into the WTC but when the topic of bombing the olympics comes up... and of today's atrocious events I just find myself grasping to understand the underlying meaning. Maybe Boston's security was weak? I can't fathom that since the USA seems pretty competent these days about having lots of officers and security on the ground at these kinds of events. Perplexing, gruesome and disappointing.
I am about 20 miles from there right now. There were at least 4 bombs with ball bearings, 2 bombs went off the other 2 (and possibly more) did not go off. 23 injured and 2 are dead.
It's either the work of a psychotic madman, or a terrorist group or -- heaven forbid -- a false flag attack. What really disturbs me is the small time interval between the two explosions, it smacks of coordination or remote detonation or both.
I heard a quote from a trooper who had just finished the race and ran to help that it looked like there were 25 to 30 people with amputations. Let's hope he got that count wrong.
I don't think he was.^ This link has some very bad pictures, bloody pictures, I suggest looking at your own risk... http://www.heavy.com/social/2013/04/boston-marathon-bomb-photos-engulf-twitter/
Supposedly, they have a suspect in guarded custody at a hospital. S/he blew her/himself up? So sad for these people. Shep Smith was terrific reporting. I do like him--the only Fox person I really like.
I agree, more so if the damn camera guy gets in the way. But at the same time I feel that everyone has the right to know every bit of info possible, so I posted them. But the pictures are horrible, so I'm warning everyone now.
I'm so horrified by this. I was actually v-logging when new horrible images came up on TV and I ended up just posting it as it was. Pardon my language here, but who the fuck does these kinds of things?! I mean really, what gain do people get out of hurting others?! My vlog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8niRU5zmu0
