Explosion in Boston?

[dreVol]

Saw where CNN is reporting it could be right-wing extremists.

after the Times Square bomb was thwarted, mayor Bloomberg claimed that the bomb was set by an opponent of Obamacare.

I'm going to avoid speculation and wait until more info. is available

 

[vol_in_ar]

Yeah, I'm safe.

good to hear

I'm not about to rule out anybody but that doesn't seem like a "right wing extremist" kind of target. It doesn't "seem" to fit the ideology in my mind.

But then I'm not a nutcase so who the hell knows?

unconfirmed from a news outlet, but multiple reports on twitter and reddit

interesting problem

It will take a long time to clear the area, because lots of people dropped bags and whatever else they had when the finish-line blasts happened. Authorities have to check all of those bags, and bomb squads "may be blowing things up over the next few hours" out of precaution, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said.

twitter report from there - likely not an explosion

Scene outside of Tufts Medical. Boston Swat officer pulled gun on non-compliant man. Unclear if related at all but crowd in panic

Just repeating that isn't really what I'm looking for in terms of confirmation.

Logic already being thrown out: Taxday + Boston + Tea Party.

Pure speculation but it's already happening.

I know just passing along what I'm seeing, don't have any TV right now. Getting all my info from Twitter :hi:

Speculation that its Muslim terrorists is also just made up at this point. Really, anyone guessing should just stop. It's irresponsible.

Tweet on from Boston.com (Boston Globe?)

Federal intelligence agents have told CBS News that there was no indication that any sort of attack was planned for Boston.

 

[lawgator1]

MSNBC got video from Boston Globe, street level, with sound. People screaming. It's just awful.

Yeah. The speculation is uncalled for.

As of now very little is actually know.

The first reports of an incident is usually wrong.

More on Tufts Med Center

Tufts Medical Center evacuated, our reporter on the scene says. Family members, visitors ordered to leave, but not patients. Block shut down

 

[Burhead]

Wonder if they shut down the cell network just in case they were cell phone bombs?

You forgot the rest of the equation

=conjecture. Don't care who was responsible. Just want whoever it is to be brought to justice. Basically whoever did this forfeited their right to exist.

 

[dreVol]

just read tht CNN reported that a person of interest is in custody. can anyone confirm?
