    truly terrifying

    Is it perhaps possible its just some guy on the roof for some other reason and not terrifying at all?

    was pic taken before or after explosion?

    While I agree that I despise the 24 hour news cycle and their sobbing interviews of sandy hook victims, this is not the same thing, we're talking about people on the scene, not reporters with a professional agenda.

    True, and I'm not actually having a go at by-standers who don't do anything. Sometimes shock can literally just paralyze you, and some people just don't know how to react in these situations (although I can't imagine my first reaction ever being, 'I gotta get a picture of this!'). I just wonder how many of these pictures will and already are up on Twitter/Facebook/Imgur, etc. Seeing these pictures online in the direct aftermath of the incident probably gives some weird validation to whoever has done this, especially since the object of the exercise is to terrorize, seemingly.

    Fire at JFK Library apparently is unrelated according to Twitter reports.

    Watching the live feed and seeing the debris is a really creepy feeling. To think there might have been people watching it live as well as it happened.

    Apparently several other devices have been found.

    Sky News are airing a CBS report that claims Boston PD confirmed a third unexploded device was located.

    people being told to get out of Boston asap. scary

    Marathon runners and spectators being asked not to remain in the area is different than being told to get out of the city

    More likely a false flag set up by the US government, according to you.

    How do you mean? There were people mere yards from one the explosions who looked to get away lightly, doesn't look like the most powerful bombs ever.

    Oh I agree with you in regards the force of the explosion, but people have died & usually that means the body count should be more...

    Just hope it stays at two.

    When 9/11 happened there was no twitter or facebook. If this was true today we would get less random speculation.

    CBS News quoting law enforcement official saying they have a surveillance photo of potential suspect

    Boston PD has surveillance video of someone bringing multiple backpacks to blast site

    Suspect reportedly being guarded in hospital.

    Some very graphic pictures being posted online. Reminds me of what a fcuked up species we can be. The mentality of a person to cause this kind of anguish to a fellow human being boggles the mind.

    It's very possible to give coverage without zooming in on the faces of 10 year old girls lying on the ground AND very possible to give coverage without trying to out-do all other news channels with the 'scoop' on numbers of fatalities AND very possible to give coverage without trying to get the 'scoop' on who did it.

    But hey that all seems too sensible for the news agencies.

    What good does it achieve to be the first to report the fatality level? Not even an hour after the incident? The only one benefitting is the news channel who can then claim the scoop. Self-serving bullsh1t.

    It is natural interest ffs. Boards is trying to to do it here. If you want facts go to bed and tune in tomorrow. This is news.
