Voodoo_Operator Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The pictures from the explosion are horrific. People with their legs blown off, I saw a picture of one guy in a wheel chair with both legs blown off. It was truly horrendous.Yeah, that's what I was referring to. Lots of pictures of people missing limbs and limbs missing people. I can't stress enough to stay the hell away from pictures labeled as "graphic" if you've got a weak stomach, that warning bears all its meaning in this case.

njboy13 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 3 americans die,and all the people go crazy...people die every day in syria,iraq,palestine and africa and nobody cares Well considering that these attacks actually occurring, without being discovered and/or stopped are relatively rare in the US, and the type of attack, it was a shock to many, as with really any terrorism event.

Voodoo_Operator Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 3 americans die,and all the people go crazy...people die every day in syria,iraq,palestine and africa and nobody cares Where would you rather travel, Baghdad or Boston?That answers your comment. Which I'm extremely tired of hearing left and right, because it basically sounds like "stop complaining, some people experience terrorist attacks every day, 3 dead is nothing".

camhesse1 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Now that things have settled down for the most part, last count was 3 dead and about 140+ wounded, one dead was an 8-year old boy. Police found and defused several other bombs found throughout the city.The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken over the case, calling it a terrorist attack committed by an unknown party.The pictures from the explosion are horrific. People with their legs blown off, I saw a picture of one guy in a wheel chair with both legs blown off. It was truly horrendous.For up-to-date information, here's a link to the HuffingtonPost:http://www.huffingto..._n_3088615.htmlYeah to just add on the 8 year old dying... their family was torn apart the mother had brain injuries along with the 6 year old daughter had a limb blown off I feel so bad for the father and other brother in that family with all that casualty in their immediate family...

Pretty sure the kid and his family lived in Boston in the neighborhood of Dorchester, making him an American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdbuster Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 According to the news, one was born in Russia and the other in some other country around chechnya.I was actually listening to the scanner because the MIT cop got shot, and I got on one when he was enroute to the hospital. So, I was messaging my friend on Facebook who was also listening to the scanner because he's been listening to it the past few days out of boredom and we thought it was cool, armed robbery, armed robbery, fire, trouble breathing and then the car jacking.

Neil Gordhan Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Suspect 2 got captured late last night, justice will be served.

Hoppah Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'm glad they were able to took the second suspect in custody alive. What a show. It was frightening yet impressive what the US authorities were able to pull of. Hopefully, the second suspect doesn't die of his wounds so he can be tried for his crimes. And more importantly, this will hopefully provide an insight in his and the brother's motives.I'd like to pay my respects to the four who have died during the events and my thoughts are with those who got injured or affected by the events in Boston.RIPHoppah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
