The first report on JFK library thing was that it was an electrical fire, unrelated. But now I gather they aren't sure yet.

Cell phone service shut down in Boston to prevent remote detonations.

Would make sense.

That may explain why TRUT only made a couple of post.

They are showing a video with sound from street level of the blast now...horrible.

I know, and have no idea whether its coincidental. But it's poignant reminder that the event is international.

BPD might want to let Twitter know this.

Now reported that JFK incident is "fire related" and probably not related to the two bombs.
