    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?

    as the second one goes off,

    you can see explosion of first one in background, could be someone running to see what happened

    today is the day Lincoin was shot, the titanic sunk and with less importance to the USA Hillsborough happened. Patriots day in Boston, celebrating the English evacuating Boston during the war.
    A day in history with alot of significance.

    Scanner reporting that a "Yellow Spenski(?) Truck" has gotten through the police lines claiming to have medical supplies. They're now looking to stop the van and identify the driver.

    Third Explosion confirmed at JFK by police during press conference.

    Do you think the movie "four lions" will get any flack due to their movie basically depicting the same attempt at blowing up a marathon? I know its a comedy but I remember watching it saying jesus any extremist could view that plot as ideal.

    Crazy world we are living in

    no

    if that was the case would everyone blame war on someone seeing saving private ryan?

    I think it deserves more flack for not being anywhere near as funny as it should have been.

    I doubt theres a date in the calendar year that doesn't have significance either in American history or in the history of its enemies.

    No, it won't get any flack. People with a violent agenda have done so at sporting events in the past. Atlanta in '96. Munich in '72.

    NY post stuff is annoying, no names, no sources and no other news agencies saying anything about it
