And somehow, by some messed up logic in your head, you made it seem way more important than those confirmed dead, and others fighting for their lives.reclegend22;1426056 wrote:While I could have worded my post more eloquently, my point was that the kid from Van Wert finishing 10th is not that important in the grand scheme of things. -

Regardless, I shouldn't have posted without having a drink first. Ha. My apologies to the kid from Van Wert. What legs!
Come on rec..just stop -

I should have kept my mouth shut. What I said came out way too sarcastic for a thread such as this. My apologies.chicago510;1426067 wrote:And somehow, by some messed up logic in your head, you made it seem way more important than those confirmed dead, and others fighting for their lives. -

I'm just view this on tv and seeing the bomb sitekaren lotz;1425961 wrote:
Both bomb where placed against a building , to direct the explosive out into the crowd, the first seemed to be directed in a up ward direction
From the photo this was a c4 type bombing the ball of flame is my first thoughts, from my vietnam experience tells me this, the larger amount of white smoke is also a c4 type profile. Note this is only from my knowledge of c4 from nam. I'm a old guy who once used explosive This is only my opinion -

They avtually mentioned this earlier. The one bomb was apparently in a trash can right beside the barrier along the street -

that would explain why the explosive blast was in a up ward direction -

NY Post: 12 dead, nearly 50 injured. Suspect ID'd and in the hospital: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/two_explosions_at_boston_marathon_iMR0LCkcwASg0RQfVsH1yI?utm_source=SFnewyorkpost&utm_medium=SFnewyorkpost -

The NY Times is just sort of updating what happened, but nothing really specific. The question of the hour is obviously whether this is an authetnic Al-Queda-sponsored attack or just some insane Terry Nichols fan.
Obviously both are bad, but to think the Al-Queda are ready for "round two" is a scary thought. -

They controlled an explosion in Copley Square, and apparently there was another (uncontrolled) explosion at JFK Library.Mohican00;1426083 wrote:No? I thought it was controlled -

So intelligence isn't seeing anything that makes them think it was a terrorist attack from someone overseas. Or at least they see no chatter of that.

Which I read is like 5 miles from copley. -

Saudi national...But unless they have clear evidence, I don't think backpack proves much since there were probably at least half a dozen, maybe more, backpacks in the vicinity. It's a long race, you have spectators bringing snacks and drinks and family members hauling some gear for competitors.chicago510;1426078 wrote:NY Post claiming Boston PD has a suspect in hospital custody:
