Reports of two explosines going off at the finish line!!! What is this world coming too?????? :(

Lets hope this was an accident. Its still possible. Gas explosions can occur in multiple locations.

clww · April 15, 2013, 03:52:41 PM

From what I've been watching on FOX News, these were two choreographed explosions on each side of the street leading up to the finish line. Three dead so far with many, many injured.

Prayers to all families injured and hurt.

I AM VERY SCARED!!! My wife is very near there on work.... Can't reach her on the phone...

clww · April 15, 2013, 04:25:23 PM

Cell phone coverage is going to be about impossible. You'd be better trying to text or email her. Good luck. ;)

Praying. For you, your wife, and everyone directly involved.

Well, sure is unbelievable to have this hit Boston of all places.

And the cowards war continues, hopefully there will be an accounting for this.

I'm with you TR.... and a relief your wife is safe, Woodhauler.

Apparently a 3rd bomb the police found, that didn't go off. The JFK incident was not a bomb, just a fire or something that was coincidental.

When I heard the news, which was from a classmate from high school's post on facebook, I was deeply concerned.

My wife's son and his wife are up from NC. He's going back to Afghanistan on Tuesday. But he came to NH to go to his wife's cousin's wedding yesterday.
Knowing that they were going to be here, he bought tickets for them to go to the Red Sox game this morning. That's my wife, my daughter, my wife's son and his wife.

I did talk to my wife a short while ago.
They were at a restaurant eating and waiting for the "T" to be turned back on.
They drove to a "T" train station near Boston and took the "T" in to the ball game.
They shut down the "T" and they had to walk very far to get some place to eat.
And I did hear, on my truck radio that they have opened up the "T" and so she will be able to get back to their car and get home.

Sad, just plain sad..... :'(

martyinmi · April 15, 2013, 07:27:46 PM

I've been worried myself.
My sister just called and said that both of our cousins and a friend from church who ran the marathon all are fine.
She said that the bombs apparently went off towards the end of the race.
Both cousins already have FB pictures up.
For now they are all stuck in Boston.

Prayers for healing to all the athletes and spectators involved, and speedy justice to the cowards responsible.

A sad day :(

thecfarm · April 15, 2013, 08:34:49 PM

I was happy sawing away at my sawmill when the wife came down and told me the news. There went my happy mood and my prayer mood kicked in. :(

MSNBC still carrying live updates at 12:09 AM. Earlier Rachel Maddow had listed all the bombings in recent years including Oklahoma City. April 15 is the same date that the guy flew a plane into a tax building. After all my professional mental health experiences, very little shocks me anymore.
I feel great sorrow for all the victims and considerable rage toward the bombers.

Say your prayers.

It never ceases to amaze me, how many really true sickos there are in the world today. What could anyone possibly hope to gain through an act like this. Bring back the 50's.
