GibbsFactor Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 You can see the bomb blowing up in that Deadspin link. The first image is pretty grisly with what looks like limbs scattered. ---------- Post added April-15th-2013 at 03:15 PM ---------- @JoshElliottABC 3:10 PMRT @ajvsell WCVB (Boston's ABC affiliate) is reporting that people have "lost limbs" as a result of what happened in Boston.

ixcuincle Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I would love to blame terrorism but it might have been an accidental explosion like a gas line or something. Let's wait until we get the facts straight, but if this is a terrorist act, I'm angry and mad ---------- Post added April-15th-2013 at 03:24 PM ---------- The Iron Sheik @the_ironsheik now oh my god in the Boston marathon.

HBnotBlades Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Obviously it's too early to know for sure, but two explosions separated by a short period of time is something that has been typical of terrorist attacks over seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjTj Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hearing they think two garbage cans were rigged. The body parts and shoes all over the streets are too much.It's incredible that with social media we can get photos of the explosion and aftermath so quickly, but the downside is that we see raw photos without much warning ... prayers to all of those affected.
