probably just Boston with it being Patriot's Day and having the Marathon going on. Lot of people in a relatively small area makes for an ideal target for these acts.SportsAndLady;1426011 wrote:I'm in downtown Chicago and just now seeing all of this. Think its a good idea to head home the rest of the day or is it just a Boston thing?

She's in intelligence and things are getting pretty intense. But thats literally all I know since she can't tell me anything. BUT I think its more geared towards things in N Korea. Not things happening stateside.

Probably just coincidence....although it did occur to me this could be the work of some NRA nut trying to make a horribly misguided point. But I don't know - haven't domestic terrorists typically targeted govt buildings?SnotBubbles;1426034 wrote:You have got to be kidding me...
What a terrible situation, all around.
Also not that impressive considering some of the runners ahead of him had their legs blown off and did not get to finish the race. The kid from Van Wert realistically probably finished somewhere between 20 and 30. Hopefully the race officials will adjust the standings accordingly when the final body counts come out.vdubb96;1425989 wrote:Before I had heard of the explosions I noticed on Facebook a young man from Van Wert, Oh. finished 10th. Thats pretty cool. Hope it's not as bad as it seems.
Will be interesting to know if those were live, malfunctioned, or simply planted to cause more alarm. Doesn't make sense to me why they would otherwise not have been set off.gorocks99;1426035 wrote:AP says they found two more devices; being dismantled.
