Wondering if Tax Day, the 15th of April, has any connection to the motive? As one of the bombs was at the JFK Library, where tax forms are often dispensed, it is kind of coincidental? |
April 19 is Patriot's Day but it was being celebrated today in Boston. Patriot's Day has a history of extremist actions. I THINK this is true, I'm not positive! But Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City... Didn't they all occur on April 19? |
Police commissioner says they believe the explosion at the JFK library IS related. Now also hearing another device was found in a Roman Catholic church, and there is a "person of interest" in the hospital that is being guarded -- Saudi national. |
I heard that there were family members of the Sandy Hook victims at the finish line...I don't know if that's true. I hope there are no more bombs and if there are, they're quickly found and killed. |
They sent in the National Guard, FBI , State Police . The city is on high alert. A third bomb went off at the JFK Library that's near the Airport. We only live 30 mins from Boston this is crazy and so sad. Why would anyone do such a terrible thing. I'm sure they now more than what they are going to tell the public. |
Authorities ID suspect as Saudi national in marathon bombings, under guard at Boston hospital - NYPOST.com Interesting, to say the least. From the report above: "Boston police have has surveillance video of someone bringing multiple backpacks to blast site, according to CBS News." |

NBC tweet: "Reports of Marathon Runners that crossed finish line and continued to run to Mass General Hospital to give blood to victims" How touching. |
ABC has a video taken right near ground zero of the first bomb explosion that you should see. People start screaming and running but when that second explosion goes off, the level of screaming amps up about 50 times louder and there is absolute panic. I heard NBC news says that so often in Afghanistan and Iraq, etc., one explosion often follows another for maximum effect. And that is makes one think it is someone familiar with smaller explosive device uses in that two smaller ones can create so much panic today and then at future events. |
Turned over to Fox and they are saying the JFK Library thing was related to a fire and may not be related to the Marathon explosions. |
I clearly heard the Police Commissioner say that it was a related explosion, and was wondering if I was confused with what I heard. Then Brian Williams just mentioned that he heard the same thing, but that the police seem to be back-tracking on that statement now. |
Our family here in the UK send our thoughts to our American friends. So sorry you are going through this. Hope all those who did this are caught. Our prayers are with all those hurting, fearful and grieving. My husband and I remember what it was like when the IRA used to bomb us here, it's a vile, cowardly act on civilians. |

Heard that in London Wednesday is the funeral of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and then Sunday, the London Marathon is taking place and officials there are very nervous of copycats. |
Now they are saying 90 plus people injured at the marathon. |
Praying for the victims and families of this horrific act of terrorism. Too many evil people in this world today. |

I just saw the most awful picture on facebook. EMT's were pushing a man in a wheel chair. This poor man lost both of his legs. His bones were hanging out, but no legs or feet...they were gone. I can't understand people putting this on the net. What if his family doesn't know about him yet and would come across this picture. This is so awful. Breaks my heart. And...him having such terrible injuries and having to sit in a wheel chair, rather than be on a gurney. |

With regard to the London marathon, there are a number of runners with run both races Boston then London, I imagine who ever did this bombing is hoping to put fear into them and and the other London runners/supporters. Our prayers are with all those hurt and effected by the events in Boston. |

I heard a woman say just now that she saw things flying that she thought were body parts. I just heard a man on ABC say he saw a guy with his legs gone from below the knee - wonder if that is the poor guy whose picture you saw? |
Prayers to all involved and effected. |
I also heard there was a tent set up at the finish line for VIP visitors...and the families of Sandy Hook victims were there. Also the run was 26 miles long, for 26 victims of Sandy Hook..:( |
I am reading 12 dead now on New York Post. I wish all of these news outfits would coordinate their info. One of the first 2 reported dead was an 8 year old child. :( |

It seems like the second bomb went off too early, thank goodness. I heard them say once again that the intent of two explosions, one shortly after the other, is to get people running away from the explosion and right into the other one to maximize injury and terror. I doubt many people had much time to get to that second bomb blast area before it went off. Boy I hope they get the gutless scumbag(s) behind this terror ASAP! |
Nick Valencia@CNNValencia2m BOLO put out by Boston law enforcement for "dark skinned or black male" who tried to gain restricted access minutes b4 1st explosion #fiedCNN John King just verified this on CNN, said the guy wearing black with black backpack and when turned away from restricted area he broke eye contact and pulled his sweatshirt over his head supposedly just prior to the first explosion, I believe is when King said he was spotted. He then disappeared apparently. |
Boston BOLO now includes a yellow rental truck - possibly Penske. Wondering on CNN if someone got the guy on their phone pics or video. |
This is so sad and been sending prayers for the victims and their families. I did read posts from one of my friends via Facebook and she said that she had finished the race earlier and was safely locked up in her hotel room with her family. I imagine some of you are hearing similiar stories from your friends in Boston too. |
So incredibly sad and tragic :(. |
This Boston terror attack just makes me heartbroken for the families and people hurt. Today it seems certain people just have no feeling for others. The bible tells us this will happen. No care or concern. How low can one go to outright kill another precious person. I pray for those who are responsible. The devil is behind all this. Evil is all around. It is in the minds of these killers. Pray for this to stop and our children to grow up in a loving world. |
oh my... all my troubles seam so small now. I am adding my prayers for my friends and the families and the victims. How horrible |
