Im dreading Wednesday for Maggies funeral
Just hope nothing bad happens there, expecting a few riots & arrests but I hope nothing worse than that

Security around New York landmarks is now being beefed up

 

[KZNSeagull]

Theory now is that there were 2 explosions, 1 on each side of the street. At least 3 dead. Terrible.

 

[Sussax]

Shocking.

It's so shocking. How many of us went to the Brighton Marathon? Can you even begin to imagine that happening here? Sickening.

ive run the boston marathon....i just feel competely sickened, and gutted by it. my heart bleeds and goes out to the victims

Same here. I ran it two years ago. I also have the blue and yellow BAA running kit which I often run. It will feel a bit odd wearing it now. I have heard there have been some deaths. Terrible.

WTF is wrong with people? Why on EARTH would you do this?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Scum. All those people raising money for charity.

Saw a glimpse of some footage and raises the question, why is it the first thing some people think of doing is getting out their mobile and recording the grim scenes rather than pitching in and trying to help those who are suffering.

Thoughts with the casualties and their families.

BPD now saying Boston Fire has another possible device at JFK library at UMass Boston.

I'd like to think it's to give police evidence in their investigations, but you know it's to make a quick buck.

That seems obvious however question is from where the terrorists are from. US has it's fair share of misguided militias. Time will no doubt tell.

police in Boston saying they are finding a number of unexploded devices.

Scary sounding stuff (explosions) at Boston Marathon

Why..? Easy target? Just don't understand bit like the Thatcher threads I've refused to get involved with this week. Sickening.

I'm genuinely curious as to how the presence on ball bearings makes it "almost deffinately a terrorist attack"?
