Multiple Large Explosions at Boston Marathon (Warning: VERY Graphic Photos)

Details very sketchy

Appears to be multiple explosions

 

Not much to add, except BBC says it was two.

Interesting. Will it turn out to be an attack of some kind?

 

Hopefully it's not related to what I think it is....

 

And what would that be?

It looks pretty bad.

 

It's either tied to the economy or people are starting to revolt against the government infringing on their rights.

 

I... don't think so...

 

Like what Rammstein once sang about the Ramstein airshow disaster..

Blut gerinnt auf dem Asphalt

Agreed. Who would blow up innocent people at a marathon to protest the government?

 

It was a black powder bomb. Muslim terrorist use ball bearings.

 

Thoughts and prayers for everyone hurt and their families.

 

1. Ball bearings are not explosives.
2. Where do you see that it is black powder?
3. Why couldn't you use black powder and ball bearings?
4. They don't always use ball bearings.

 

Black powder could propel bearings .... What was the projectiles used ?

 

I don't think so.

 

People already reported dead, many injured... either gas pipe or a muslim extremists... both very deadly.

 

I won't assume to talk for him but I'll bet it's filed in the terrorism drawer, foreign or domestic it matters not we'll suffer from the proposed solution. It's also interesting that it's tax day and in Boston the site of a historic tax protest. Although I hope I'm not reading too much into it.

 

i hope they find out who caused this, granted it was a terrorist act, and bring the pain on them with no regard for their well being at all. save the tax payers money and go full psycho on their sick asses.

 

How in the hell did explosives get planted in what should have been an event that should have had high post 9/11 security?

 

Or it's the NRA trying to take the focus off of guns...like the university stabbings last week. [/sarcasm]

So the revolt against the government entails killing lots of people who have nothing to do with the government? Good plan......

 

What the (*)(*)(*)(*)!?

 

1) Ball bearings are packed into explosives
2) The explosion had fire and lots of smoke in it, something you get from black powder explosives
3) Only a handful of people were injured and 3 were killed, if it had ball bearings in it then there would be more casualties
4) Not always, but they use debris in their explosives almost everytime. Screws, nuts, bolts, ball bearings.

 

"Man caused disaster"?....or dangerously violent right-wing terrorists expressing displeasure at something or another?

pick 'em.

(or, will any unflattering associations of the perp(s) be essentially glossed over as the progressive alphabets did with the GLBT activist who shot up a FRC office?)

 

Only a few people were injured and 3 were killed. If it had debris loaded into the explosive device then the casualties would be much much higher.

It was a raw explosive and judging by the explosion it was a black powder bomb. Look at the explosion photos.

 

ugghhh

not a good thing

 

And so the wild speculation before the facts are out begins...
