There are reports of a number of explosions at the Boston Marathon with an unknown amount of casualities.

[Cripps_orig]

Wtf is the world coming to?

Isn't there a London marathon soon?

Just read about this on the BBC site.

[Marc Overmars]

Sky News are reporting that 3 people have been killed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucking hell.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It's looking like there have been fatalities.

Unexploded secondary devices have been found.

So many people there will have been running for good causes and people they love. Then you get utter filth that do this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Third device found apparently and there will be a controlled explosion soon.

This is essentially a charity event. What kind of scum bombs a charity event?

[Power n Glory]

Disgusting. It's just uncalled for.

[LDG]

What the fuck is wrong with people.

Very sad.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

2 more devices found, according to AP.

Being dismantled right now.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

disgrace.

[Syn]

Fucking brody. Watched the panorama doc on North Korea just now too. I give the world 20 years. Don't save any money and drink many beers bros.

[LDG]

It's amazing that despite human intellegence, people are still ignorant and appauling enough to kill and injure innocent people.

[fakeyank]

What a bunch of turd fucks! I have a lot of college friends in Boston.. so far, it seems no one was near the radius of the explosion.

Such a sad fucking thing to do!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Apparently there is a 'person of interest' under police guard at a Boston hospital.

Also, the relatives of the Sandy Hook massacre were guests of honour nearby. Reports are that there are no casualties amongst them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There has been an explosion at JFK Library but unknown if it is related as of yet.

[Cripps_orig]

So it begins

World war 3 has just begun

[LDG]

Ball barings found at the site. Thought to be part of whatever went off.

..
This keeps getting crazier and crazier.

The Boston Marathon's Final Mile Was Dedicated to Newtown Victims; Newtown families "were reportedly seated in the VIP section" near the finish line.

CBS news radio reports there is a surveillance photo of a possible suspect .

[Syn]

Oh yeah, look at the slouched posture! And he's wearing dark clothing. Definitely him. What a scumbag.

[Munchies]

According to twitter; the person has been caught

and this is a clear video of it all doing the rounds

I haven't watched it and probably won't

[Syn]

Munchies is like Ollie on crack.

[GP]

#Muslims is trending on Twitter.

I think we all know what that means.

Yep. More idiots.

pictures like this do nothing but cause more harm. we have no idea who that person is, they could be the bomber if it is a terroist attack, they could also be a marathon surpervisor watchingn the routes, or a police guard, who knows, but ciruclating a picture like this doesnt help.


horrible events, truly shocking that people attack waht is a charity race as someone pointed out

[Munchies]

That picture was being sent everywhere, but your right, it could be BS.

Also hope the London one this Sunday goes safe.

it was more a general point rather then you posting it :good:

look it could be the real attacker, but i doubt it. i dont think if the attacker didnt kill himself he would show himself like that, too obvious a place and knows he would be seen so i think that photo really is just a police guard, it could even be maintence or someone just hearing a noise and checking it out.

:lol: ollie.

way too sensible for goonersweb.

awful poster.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Absolutely awful.

The difficulty these days with dealing with these type of terrorist attacks is that most of it is home grown. We saw that with 7/7 when the bombers were British citizens from Leeds. And unless you start monitoring every single Muslim citizen around the clock 24/7 which is impractical, it's difficult to stop this completely.

This is what you get for letting crazy religious wackjob into the country and then giving them citizenship. And then allowing them to stay segregated in their own communities and brought up on a hatred of the West.



Also I wish the BBC would start actually reporting on the event and developments regarding the response instead of giving constant eyewitness accounts from every Tom, Dick and Harry in the vicinity. The explosion was caught on camera, we don't need vague explanations of what some random American who probably watched it on TV like the rest of us saw.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Watching this on CNN, absolutely shocking, the last mile of an international marathon. Ball bearings, blades found in the debris!
one of the dead is an eight year old! !

They are saying it was a sophisticated attack but that is only because there werent any plastic explosive, it was quite clearing coordinated.

Just cant believe it. . .it just shows the guard of the world can never be lowered

[Marc Overmars]

One of the fatalities has been identified as an 8 year old kid, who was waiting at the finish line for his dad.

Horrific.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I heard that this morning. That really got to me.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I heard that this morning. That really got to me.

I didn't know about what had happened until i read the papers this morning, feeling physically drained as i do first thing of a morning this combined with a feeling of being emotionally drained as to the casual cruelty of it. A Marathon is a wonderful thing it celebrates pushing the limits of human endurance and so much is raised for charitable causes to have it end with such senseless carnage is bad enough on it's own, but that it claimed the life of a poor little boy there at the finish line to greet his dad who had completed the marathon....it's heart breaking and it shatters your confidence in the human race that someone tonight is revelling in the mindless destruction and the untold damage to people's lives they've caused.

That is truly, truly awful!

[WMUG]

One of the people killed was a student at my current university who was on an exchange trip :(

[Marc Overmars]

One of the suspects has been shot dead and another is on the loose, believed to be armed and dangerous.

:wacko:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

AP are saying the suspects are from Chechnya. :blink:

[GP]

[GP]

So being in China was just a cover?

So, the authorities have locked-down the whole of Boston now to try and find the younger brother, he's going for the Fritzl prize.
