Sweetpumper 10,602 #6 Posted April 15, 2013 Shouldn't that place have been swept and guarded days before the race? It's a perfect target. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kowalski 5,770 #7 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Watched some of the live feeds from ABC News, Fox News, and CNN, just to get an idea of what the heck is going on. One of the anchors said the bombings might have something to do with the fact that the Boston Marathon was in memory of the Sandy Hook Victims....

AsteroidX 2,108 #8 Posted April 15, 2013 Sounds like they were going after a Starbucks and the marathon got in the way. All kidding aside looked like 2 IED type explosions. Allegedly theres a third in a hotel somewhere. Noones taken credit for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q-C 3,459 #9 Posted April 15, 2013 Terrible! There should be lots of photos and video (public, news, city) of the area prior to the blasts. Hopefully this will have caught someone, if no one takes responsibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AsteroidX 2,108 #11 Posted April 15, 2013 Rumor. There turning off cel;l phones communications in Boston area. Apparently to prevent a remote detonation ? Or is the cell system overwhelmed with calls ? Just a reminder in a SHTF scenario your cell phone will not be reliable. Have a back up plan to get ahold of loved ones in these changing times. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a reminder in a SHTF scenario your cell phone will not be reliable. Have a back up plan to get ahold of loved ones in these changing times. Thats actually a really smart idea. It could be that the system is overwhelmed with calls... but it would also make sense if they shut off the system for the time being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lilly 33,242 #18 Posted April 15, 2013 I suspect the cell system here is overwhelmed. My friend's son just now was able to call her to say he's ok (he was a runner). Local news has little details on what exactly went down I'm located south of Boston and my cell works...but another friend of mine can't call through to her husband that works at Mass General Hospital. The general mood here is fearful. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
