[Rand Paul's Ray Bans]

Christ.

 

[Daydream Believer]

Jesus, that looks bad.

[Maiden Gorgie]

Breaking on BBC News now, doesn't look good.

[Chaka Demus & pliers]

Around 50 hurt according to Sky News.

 

Hopefully no deaths.

[hughesie27]

Loads of folk on the ground there.

[Shanks said no]

WTF is wrong with this world

[AWM]

[The Great Khali]

Terror attack?

[Chaka Demus & pliers]

Seeing that photo of the blast it's inevitable that people have died there.

[Rand Paul's Ray Bans]

There's maybe a third undetonated device as well.

[Rand Paul's Ray Bans]

Terror attack?

 

Almost certainly, but not confirmed yet.

[hughesie27]

At least 1 thought dead.

 

A lot of blood on the ground there though.

[Rand Paul's Ray Bans]

Going to put this photo in spoiler. It isn't very nice.

 

 

Aftermath

 

 

 

[Ray Gin]

Grim scenes.

[Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC]

Shit man a lot of blood in these photos.

 

Nightmare.

[rossthejambo]

Bloody hell, thats horrible.

[Don Draper]

CBS saying that it came from a hotel. But they don't really know an awful lot right now, understandably.

[Maroon Sailor]

London Marathon on Sunday - can see security being ramped up for that " fun " event now

 

Horrendous scenes in Boston

[Rand Paul's Ray Bans]

Confirmed: third device found.

 

I don't like jumping to conclusions on things like this, but this definitely looks like a co-ordinated terrorist attack.

[Shanks said no]

Thatchers funeral before London marathon, how are they going to police that, all it needs is a muppet with a ruck sack

[Swanny17]

Absolutely horrific.

[chubby1973]

3 dead confirmed.

[Rand Paul's Ray Bans]

NSFW

Confirmed where?

[Tams bird]

Just seen it on sky news. Said a lot with lost limbs....

[Rand Paul's Ray Bans]

Confirmed where?

 

CNN

[rossthejambo]

Harrowing pictures, poor buggers. Can't imagine just going along for a marathon and that happening.

 

[Maroon Sailor]

On the anniversary of Hillsborough as well

 

Same local time as the disaster

[Tams bird]

At least 3 dead ...

[chubby1973]

All bomb squad teams& dogs being sent in. now new york gone on full alert just incase.

[hughesie27]

Not sure if you can see but there is a guy walking around in one of those bomb protective suits in this live stream.

[Don Draper]

Every injured person they've shown on telly so far has appeared to be conscious...which is something, I suppose.

 

Talk of amputations now. Jesus.

[Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC]

London marathon surely cancelled.

[Dean Winchester]

******* hell. What is wrong with this world.

[Beats]

That's shocking.

 

A lot of evil ###### in this world.

[Rand Paul's Ray Bans]

Someone caught one of the explosions as it happened on Vine: https://vine.co/v/bFdt5uwg6JZ

[chubby1973]

They reckon 1 went off in a hotel, with another in a waste bin on the street.

 

[Prince Buaben]

Sky sports news is showing a clip where you see the explosion

[rossthejambo]

Set to go off when the fun runners go through, horrible *******s.

[scottish_chicP]

You could actually hear someone say "oh my god they're dead" a couple of minutes ago

That looks bad, quite a few spectators very close to the blast. The blast itself didn't look huge though.

[chubby1973]

Jesus!! Quote from a witness saying he ran past as the 2nd explosion went off&a leg flew past him.

 

 

[Groot]

Think that's the first one, from the footage from down wind you see the nearby smoke then another cloud of smoke growing in the distance from a second blast

[Craigieboy]

Ffs.

 

Just realised this had happened.

 

Vile.

 

Who's getting the blame?

Is the runner that goes down hit with something or does he collapse with shock/dive for cover. I can't make it out

[Ryan Jarman]

Brutal. More than one nugget behind this one, planned and prepared for a while.

[Chaka Demus & pliers]

Looks to have been hit as he goes down quickly.

Shrapnel I'd imagine. I mind in the Old Compton Street nail bombings some poor lad got a nail lodged in his penis.

[chubby1973]

Vile.

 

Who's getting the blame?

 

no-one yet. but they've cleared the airspace round boston & reckon ball bearings where in the bombs.
