That explosion is bigger than a carbomb/suicide bomb. So in that regard, its pretty big. Bigger than a single act is what I am getting at, to cause something that big, it needs to involve a few parties I would imagine.

The 2nd explosion seems to be bigger then first. It basically cause a white out and it got really bright.

I was hoping this was just an accident. Otherwise, I probably will have no faith in humanity anymore.

One good thing is when you have an event this big you have lots of help there right away. People who are nurses,paramedics,docs... Can't hurt
This shit is awful.

The fact there has been NO word from Boston officials,makes you wonder if they have more legit threats.

Hopefully city officials can prevent wide spread panic and get this situation under control, whatever it may actually be.karen lotz;1425996 wrote:damn it...

So there's my point I guess.
I just hope there aren't idiot people just calling in false threats. Just to cause panic. Though its better to have fake threats then real ones,but I mean I hope people don't call in fake ones if there are real ones out there

Sounds like the police had a controlled explosion of a third device (see my post above). Could have been that.Midstate01;1426003 wrote:There's been another explosion reported.

A former Boston Chief of Police said his contacts had told him up to four explosions (unless I heard wrong) and 50+ injured.

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?
