Bomb Exploded at Boston Marathon Finish Line

[Amnorix]

I've heard an unconfirmed report (a co-worker's girlfriend called him) that there was a bomb at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, with people injured. I am hearing multiple sirens, though I'm not in the Copley area.

Yes. If you go to say a rock concert and you have a bag, it's normal to set it in front of you and retrieve stuff from it and maybe just leave it there for a bit, give your shoulders a break. Like Lit is saying, just playing devil's advocate here.

Sure is odd how many people seem to be carrying backpacks crammed full of stuff. How much crap do you need to go watch a damn race?

This thing turned everybody into forensic investigators overnight

This.


Maybe if we had our kids out for the day we might carry a bag like that.

We will know soon enough apparently they have video of the person setting the 2nd bomb or dropping the backpack

I think it's the guy in the white hat. Body language before and after is disturbing.

Good Lord.

Look at the guy behind them with the yellow green and red stripes on his jacket sleeves. He starts out above and on their right. In the last shot, he is above and to the left. They were walking.

Yes. Did it less than 3 weeks ago

Thank Goodness for technology.


If this happened 15 years ago they would have a lot better chance at getting away with it. With all of the cameras today it's hard to get away with breaking wind.

It's normal to me. Say you're from out of town, you come out to an event that will last for half a day, you gear up and bring anything you think you'll need. Many may be students where carrying a backpack is second nature.

Both of these guys are dressed the same...



And this guy seems definitely involved.

In Downtown KC people have backpacks crammed with tons of shit all the time and that is just for work and afterwork stuff.

Could be. I do that shit all the time.

That pic just pisses me off, to get that pic of them on the phone, it had to be cropped from a photo from after the blast and them standing next to an ambulance.
