Wonder when they'll figure out who did this. Supposedly have some guy on video with multiple backpacks.

if the bomber ends up being a North Korean spy.... and this leads to war there.... well...better ban me now.

What a tragedy though. The pics are truly disturbing.

^^ honestly was kind of hoping for a white wing-nut like McVeigh or school shooters.

Ok, then just a really bad choice of words.

No, you're just too emotional today. It was pretty clear what he meant.

Not a trustworthy source. NYPOST is also reporting 12 dead while everyone reporting 3.

Well shit, if THAT actually happens I will fly out to Calgary and buy you supper and stop arguing when I disagree haha

But yes, it is a ridiculous tragedy.

Too soon for what? I'm pretty sure the "Red Mile" he's referring to is 17 Ave SW during the 2004 Flames cup run.

That's some fucked up shit.... I was having a nap since about noon and you know those dreams where you only kinda half remember everything, just bits and pieces and then you wake up and you're like, WTF was that? All I remember is dreaming about a bloody limb with a piece of bone sticking out...blood everywhere... can't remember anything else. Grabbed my Blackberry checked Twitter, eyes barely open, then I was really like WTF??? My brother and his wife go to Boston lots so I texted him, they're safe at home in NS. Man that's horrible. What's next?

There is a scanner app available. Scanner Radio. I have been listening to the Boston PD as it happens. It's MUCH more reliable and timely than any news channel IMO. Reddit also has excellent live coverage as well. For anyone interested. There is still some weird shit going on.

I was watching steaming live video coverage on CNN and that's what they kept repeating.

It looks to be homegrown to me. Smaller devices, likely backpack sized. I also find it interesting that some reports are that the second explosion at the intersection was larger than the first. It seems to me that the first explosion was there to start backing up the runners avoiding the explosion where a second explosion could get a more occupied area.

So unfortunate.

This is so sad. What kind of sick creature would do that?

No kids, no women, even Tony Montana knows better.

So glad the other two (or more?) didn't go off.

Seriously - it was just a matter of time. It is so easy to singlehandedly take out a bunch of people at a sporting event, mall, theatre etc - I'm actually quite surprised extremists haven't done even more since 9/11.

RIP to all. So horrible.
