Bomb in Boston Massachusetts

[ManagerJosh]

Our Boston team checked in a few moments ago and they are okay.


some of the updates we're getting from Boston thus far:

• Two more devices found, being dismantled. That sounds like a total of 5, maybe 6.
• Devices appear to be homemade with ball bearings
• suspected explosive device was under the viewing grand-stand
• scanners also reported another explosion at JFK Library. Unconfirmed however there was a fire there earlier

FBI is seeking a Yellow Penske truck who tried to gain access to the scene claiming he had medical supplies. Subject is a person of interest to the FBI.

FBI is seeking a person who suspiciously fled the scene. Black male, black hoody, black backpack.

Opinions? North Korea? Al Qaeda?

Alkida?

Al Qaeda

Speculating at this point only does harm.

I'm HOME

Lost cell phone service. Hearing that they've shutdown cell phone service in the general Boston area "to prevent any potential remote detonations of explosives", but I'm no where near Boston at the moment. So I don't know why that would affect me or anyone else.

Watching the news and getting details as they unfold now. This is crazy.... It seems as though some sick f*ck was planting bombs all over Boston, from the way they're talking on the news.

Adam I didn't realize you were from the area.

Adam I didn't realize you were from the area.

I travel a lot (really a lot), but I grew up in Western Massachusetts most of my life. Today I was in the Boston area, but not in Boston its self (close enough to worry).

Small update....

Cell phone service was not turned off as originally suggested (reported). Rather the network was flooded

The two may not be connected.

There's some very graphic photo's on the web already....very graphic. Wish I hadn't looked, now.

More idiots killing people. I have nothing else to say on the matter.. >.> #sad

 

[Adam Howard]

FBI officially is calling this a terrorist attack.

I suspect they'll call a state of emergency in my state. They did so during 9/11 and that wasn't even in our state. Now that its happening here.....

 

[Cal]

So glad Obama went on TV and basically said nothing (long winded, but amounted to nothing). Great leader he is not.

You are dreaming of a fake world. There's no reason good enough. This conversation is disgusting me. Please discontinue it. I wont be engaging in it any further to avoid becoming physically sick in clear disgust.

It seems you are misunderstanding or not wanting to read further than whatever is that you're thinking. Don't be dumb, no one would ever condone as something like this being good and excuse anyone. If you kill or hurt someone you should always pay the consequences.
