Damn, poor people.
On one of the clips the BBC just showed you could hear someone shout 'Oh my God, they are all dead' :frown:
Switched over from the north Korea documentary to the cnn coverage of the bombing. This is awful!

The timing of the explosions is a little confusing tho? 3 hours after the professional runners have finished? surely the more dramatic explosion would have been then? or was it designed to hit innocents? - horrible images though. :frown:

Counter terrorist police patrolling landmarks in NY apparently
Then again it's probably Muslims, everyone's thinking it.

everyone that had run 25 miles must be doubly pissed off right now


People are being able to finish, the finish has been rerouted elsewhere.
Apparently the marathon was being run in honour of the victims of the Newtown massacre and some of the families were positioned in the VIP section near the finish line. Awful, just awful, can't even begin to imagine what they must be going through.

It might sound selfish but I just hope it isn't Islamic radicals/extremists. We have enough bad press atm

Fewer people hit if timed for the professionals.

I love how your comment implies professional runners are not innocent. :P

Yeah I agree - either way it was going to be huge. Have any deaths been confirmed? :/
People are ****ing sick.
Everybody will be hoping this is another Anders Breveik so we can divert the attention.

no, they're not, although they might be thinking you're a bell-end.

While there's every chance you might be right, gas explosion or domestic right wing terrorism is every bit as likely in this scenario. Either way, your baseless speculation does nothing to help matters and is purely trying to whip people up to react as mindlessly as yourself.

You give the Koreans too much credit.
