Explosion at Boston Marathon (Take care with NSFW photos and videos!)

Do it if you can, folks.
My veins were too recently sucked dry to contribute today, but blood is always needed, and particularly on a day like today.
Exactly.
edit your post begging people NOT to click that link unless they are actually checking for someone.
Don't want their site getting overloaded by the curious.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
The 'controlled explosion' seem legit, but we don't know if they just blew up someone's gym bag, or if it was an actual device.
I've got to buckle down before I head home, but stay safe.
Just posted that on another forum as well as they seem to have a few Boston posters there.
keep in mind even an accidental explosion will still throw out shrapnel
yes, can be passed on to others tho
I thought it was

Contributing ahead of time before disaster strikes counts for a lot dude. That literally saves people's lives right on the wire. :^:
only if they are being posted seriously.
For the next while bound to hear a lot of conflicting reports, always happens in these cases so take anything you hear with a grain of salt until the truth comes out.

Fox News is easily the most sensationalist news outlet in this country. They don't get to smear shit all over themselves in peace time and then try to be counted among the rest of the journalists when something happens.
Fuck Fox News, they showed a guy with his leg blown off for christ's sake.
As opposed to those nice bombs which are only kinda made to hurt people? Any type of bombing is disgusting.
I hope it helps the injured that medical personnel were there almost immediately! Really hope the list of casualties turns out to be as small as possible, looked like a large blast.
I know people in Boston that I hope to god were not nearby.
This ain't CSI, video editor guy.
Not sure if that was first or 2nd.
This is both, 2nd explosion in the foreground, plume from 2nd in the background (no blood or anything)

maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
I am not validating their standard routine.
I am simply stating that there isn't a single major news outlet in America doing the right thing right now.
MSNBC on right now with other analysts who are talking about their past experience with stuff like this. Making guesses that it may be an IED based upon what they have heard.
My heart goes out to the people out there right now, I hope my Bostonian friends are okay... but the media is fucking bananas right now.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
worse than that- the folks passing at that time would have been the funsie runners. the folks doing it for charity. Not the pros.

If they were struck by ball bearings they wouldn't be saying much of anything
They also would have no idea what hit them
So
there were a group of people running from Newtown.
Jesus
THey weren't hurt, but were concerned that others running from Newtown were still on the course.

Really, really, really, hoping this isn't relevant.
Bloody hell.
