| I live about an hour from Boston, grew up 20 minutes from the city. The world as I knew it, is gone. I always felt so safe in the city, now this. I had many friends and relatives running the Marathon, I thank god that no one I know is hurt or worse. The good news is that the FBI served a search warrant last night on an apartment in a nearby town. Hoping that they got some answers on who would do such a horrible thing.

| I heard on Fox news that the new thing for these terrorists to do is make bombs with pressure cookers. Its scary that a simple thing we use for cooking is being used for bomb making

I heard one man say that the pressure cooker actually impedes the force of the bomb's force and another say it increased the pressure inside, making it more forceful! Never heard of using pressure cookers for bombs before today. I hope they can track down the purchases of those pressure cookers and get his identity that way but he probably disguised himself and used cash, so that may not work. Boy I hope they get this creep or creeps soon!

| Things sure have changed since I started this thread yesterday. At that time, CNN was saying maybe it was a gas leak or manhole explosion and didn't look so bad initially. Later, I changed to Fox and MSNBC and they had on the ground footage showing 2 explosions, the second looking and sounding worse than the first and you could tell that the force of the bomb was much worse and from all of the injured and blood that you saw that whatever it was, it was pretty bad. The latest I've heard is that the injured is inching toward 200 and 3 dead. If all of those healthcare workers and ambulances hadn't been on the scene, I'll bet there would have been more deaths but apparently those severely injured got help within a few minutes and had IV lines started quickly due to their ready access for the runners' needs. That was a Godsend and you don't usually have that at a bombing site. How that city is going to change after this! It's so sad.

Oh, and they are saying that the Saudi "person of interest" has been cleared. I have also read that pressure cookers are often used to make IED's in Afghanistan. Don't know if that's true.

| What I am wondering is how they will be able to safely secure these type of events in the future. My Husband runs these marathons so Im familiar with how they go. In the spectator areas people come and go with backbacks and bags all the time. There are also spectators all along the route encouraging there loved one on. How do they secure that

| Martin Richard, R.I.P. Did you all see this absolutely heartbreaking picture of little Martin? I cannot look at this without crying. That poor little baby! He only lived 8 short years.

| Little Martin will always be the face of this bombing to me after seeing his little eyes. So big and absolutely trusting. So full of promise.

| You know, Lisa, I think you are absolutely right. How can that sweet, hopeful picture not touch one and all and ultimately do lots of good.

| Have you seen that new picture of that large bag sitting near the transh can right where there was explosion and heard that Senator Roger Wicker(R-MS) has been sent the deadly nerve agent Ricin in the mail, which was just revealed.
