Details are unclear on what caused the attack. Of course, everyone is assuming it is terrorism related.

We should all pray for those impacted by this. Terrible, terrible.

I doubt it, but I doubt about anything the media says nowadays.

The only thing I'm assuming is it happened in Boston and there may have been two explosions of some sort.

I saw the explosion footage, seems to be around the size of the olympic bomber size, maybe a little bigger, nothing like Ok.

Small explosions but in massive populated area. The grandstands area at the end of the marathon.

Boston Marathon has called it "two bombs". Unsure if they know something we don't.

There is also supposedly fire at the RFK Library in S. Boston that was started right after the bombs went off. Unsure if they are related

 

[Touma]

MSNBC saying that 3 separate police sources have said it was a small IED.

 

[Touma]

Two people confirmed killed. Lord have mercy.

Here is a video of it happening. There isn't any gore recorded, so it should be safe. If not, I will remove right away.

In hindsight I'm surprised this hasn't happened before. Large outdoor events in in areas that otherwise are completely open and accessible.

Very hard to stop.

I can think of some other things that are very hard to stop. I won't mention them. My gut feel is those working to stop such are well aware of them. No need to give those who would do things like this ideas.

 

[abysmul]

Reports that police have found more "devices".

 

[TemperateSeaIsland]

Apparently ball bearings were used, I noticed a couple of runners reacted like they were getting hit but that could have shrapnel from the surroundings. Horrible stuff.

 

[psalms 91]

Just pray

Ah, damn. The Claymore is one of the most inhumane weapons man ever devised.

Obviously a terrorist act. Only question is the source. Pray for the wounded and survivors of the murdered ones. Plus the rescuers.

While it could be terrorism I would think if someone was that dead set they would have aimed to kill and/or injure MANY more than they did.

Someone may also be trying to prove that a firearm is NOT the only very effective way to kill large numbers of people.

Perhaps. But please try not to bring gun politics into this.
