Boston Marathon Bombing: BEAHCAT & BRUINS, 'MURICA

[Cail]

Its typical.
If they have 'any' sense, try to let them understand how retarded this is and if they don't... just ignore them. Why are they even on your FB if not family anyway? C'maaaaan!

Big right wing gun nut. Should see all the gun stuff dude has been posting the past few weeks. Went to school with him, dont really talk. Might be time to weed out my fb a bit

[Xajii]

OMG that picture... I just want to hug him. God damnit. So angry.

News networks are already jumping to conclusions, I feel like hurling my television.

My normal sports radio station is now feeding in a Boston sports radio station, they finally open it up to callers and the first caller starts with "My nephew's in the hospital with shrapnel in his leg... this is the liberal policies of border control ..." and then they cut him off. I hate radio callers.

Please, please, please.....

If you are in contact with anyone in the Boston area, please ask they stay off cell phones, towers are getting swamped and 911 lines are even having trouble due to congestion.

Also inform them NOT to call 911 looking to see if a specific person was injured, they need to call local hospitals in Boston, West Roxbury and Brookline

[archibaldcrane]

Just text, don't call, people in Boston.

News networks are already jumping to conclusions, I feel like hurling my television.

And this is why I don't watch TV.

[Pikarya]

Anything new about the guy walking on the roof all sketch near the finish line?

Spoiler: show

[Byrd]

Just text, don't call, people in Boston.

And if you're in Boston trying to tell friends & family you're OK, post it to Facebook. Sounds stupid, but it works better than a ton of phone calls.

If anyone's looking for someone that they know was probably in the race, take a look here:

It'll help give you some idea of whether or not they cleared the area before/afterward.

JFK Library explosion confirmed.

There's also this from Google to help find people.

Controlled @ JFK or people injured?

[Cutriss]

Also BPD has shut down all the bridges between Cambridge and Boston.

[Cutriss]

Controlled @ JFK or people injured?

Not controlled, impact unknown.

[Boyiee]

Controlled @ JFK or people injured?

Heard there was a fire at JFK Library being fought, cause by explosion.

[Hitoru]

So four total confirmed, one controlled. JFK's was not

NHave they confirmed it was bombs yet, the local news in my area still saying it might be a gas pipeline issue.

# that press conference gave for people trying to locate family members/friends, but as jmc said don't use your cell phones. Said unconfirmed if JFK library is related, a different source elsewhere said it was just an unrelated fire.

NHave they confirmed it was bombs yet, the local news in my area still saying it might be a gas pipeline issue.

Radio reported there were two bombs in trash cans outside Marathon Sports at the finish line. Sounded official, but who knows?

[Cutriss]

NHave they confirmed it was bombs yet, the local news in my area still saying it might be a gas pipeline issue.

It was definitely not a gas explosion.

Said unconfirmed if JFK library is related, a different source elsewhere said it was just an unrelated fire.

Fire was around 3:30, the explosion was at 4:30. The BPD commish said it was an explosion, no casualties.
