My coworker just showed me a shot of a man with both legs blown off and his leg bones hanging out. I feel so sick.

I was the first one who found out at my office minutes after it was reported and shared with everyone.

I just....god this is so messed up

ABC news is calling it domestic terrorism.

They are saying it marks the day of the start of the revolution.

The burning of Waco and is a day that is part of American terrorism.....

 

Their idiots..

I heard it was aliens.

 

Seriously nobody even fully knows "what" yet. They can't possibly know "who".

So with the map, and now 2 unexploded devices.....

 

Do you think someone's timing was (and fortunately for everyone) way way way way off?

Patriots day and now reporting 2 other devices were found

Someone onsight who was in Afganistan/Iraq, and is familiar with IEDs said "I smelled cordite- I know what IEDs smell like"

 

Cordite is obsolete and not used or produced anymore....

 

Looks like BP to me, but that's just judging by the massive amount of smoke

Nick, or for anyone in NYC... any black SUV's on the ground buzzing around?

That was my thought after looking at the map....looked like whatever sick sonofabitch was behind this was trying to get the whole street.

Ought to be easy to ID a suspect with a hundred people taking photos at the finish line.

As far as small things to be thankful for at least the medical tent wasn't part of the explosion so they could quickly respond....

That was my first thought too.

As well as such a small death toll so far... I mean any death is a massive blow, but what if this was timed for when everyone piled into that area at the end..... We could be talking 45 dead

Prayers to everyone affected.....

I'm just hoping this isn't the start of a full blown DHS patrol in all major cities around the clock...

The sulpher smell would be unbearable if it was.....

If you look at the smoke as the explosion happens, you can tell for sure what is is.  And it aint BP.

Isn't "cordite" a term sort of universally used now, like "xerox" or "coke"?

Choppers are hovering about. Lots of black cars, lots but all car sevice. Way more than I normally see on my walk.

Prayers out to the victims of this tragedy. Fox news reported they may have a suspect " person of interest in the hospital ".

They're saying that this may not be over yet.

[Maksim 1,504]

You can probably turn on the Boston PD scanner. Plenty of free apps to listen to it online.

I'm not by a window right now so I can't say whether or not there's tons of black SUVs around.

Please don't say it until they do. They'll figure it out fast enough. Otherwise we'll just cause problems for Americans because you won't get that rumor back in the bottle.
