Boston members are you all OK?

[Jim Gamma]

I know we have a few Bostonera here, are you all ok after the bombs? Hoping none of you are among the injured/killed.

 

[Ashu]

Yeah, really hope everyone is doing okay out there. If you guys could check in when you can that'd be appreciated.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Thanks for asking. I'm okay. I was working from home all day and found out about the explosions through an email from management-- all it said was that anybody who needed to try contacting relatives in the Marathon could do so. For a few seconds I just thought that it was an odd message, then I thought, "Oh, fuck," and turned on the TV.

I don't know anybody who was running this year. At least I'm pretty sure I don't.

 

[Finn]

I was a mile away, trying to get home from the Red Sox game. It took us a while to get home.

 

[Data Holmes]

It's good to hear the Boston contingent of TBBS is ok.

 

[Amasov]

Perfectly fine here. I avoided all public transit on the way home. I didn't want to take any chances. Thanks so much for being concerned, folks.

 

[Kestra]

Thanks for checking in guys.

 

[Snaploud]

I'm fine. I was working in North Quincy when it happened.

 

[bluedana]

Here, fine, angry, so sad. I work about a mile or so from Copley and left as soon as I heard. Saw a lot of runners heading back to their hotels. Lots of blank, shocked faces.

 

[Amasov]

I'm sure my fellow Bostonians will agree that Patriot's Day is the best day in the city.

 

[Snaploud]

It's a weird experience when something like that happens so close..and you're basically just expected to stay at work. Most of us just spent a lot of the time checking the news and checking-in with friends/family.

I'm praying for all of you in Boston. Please stay safe!

 

[Scout101]

All good here. I normally go to the Sox game and enjoy the day, but ended up having to work today, so heard about this from there. Have a few family members that normally run the marathon, but thankfully they took this year off...

 

[bbailey861]

Thoughts and prayers to all.

 

[Rhaven]

I'm good. I was about a mile away, at work. We went to donate blood after work let out. It took some creative doings to get home. Normaly, I take the T as a few of my coworkers do. We arranged for family to pick us up. We didn't trust mass transit and that pains me.
Patriot's Day is a celebration in this city. Now we'll have this awful memory. I'm praying for all that were injured and for the three that lost their lives.

 

[arch101]

Was working in my office downtown a mile or 2 from the scene when it happened. The city is on lockdown now. I live outside of town and am glad to be home.

 

[T'Bonz]

Thanks for checking in guys. Terrible day.

 

[propita]

So glad to hear people here are okay.

Just a terrible thing.

 

[tomalak301]

All good here. I normally go to the Sox game and enjoy the day, but ended up having to work today, so heard about this from there. Have a few family members that normally run the marathon, but thankfully they took this year off...

Just curious, how far is Fenway from where the explosions happened. I thought Fenway was kind of on the outskirts of town, but I haven't been to Boston in years.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

So glad you guys are all OK.

Oh, I feel that I should mention that TrekkieMonster checked in on Facebook, so he's OK.
