Explosion Boston Marathon #2

[Kat]

Is that the same and only person looking right at the camera?

The female wearing sunglasses that appears to be looking in the the direction of the camera---yes. She appears that it's possible she may be of Asian descent. There is a male near her that appears to also be of Asian descent.

ETA: he appears as if he's wearing a red shirt with a white collar and is holding some fabric, towel, tee-shirt, etc. up close to his mouth.

Good find. (edited out an observation that is probably incorrect)

ETA: I see that http://www.wtnh.com/dpps/news/national/chinese-national-killed-in-boston_5978600 is identifying the deceased Chinese student as female. There are two females that appear to possibly be of asian descent next to the male.

I agree with the sideburns. But if that photo is real, then why aren't they reporting a man dead. Per a BU report, the Chinese national who died was one of three friends watching the race. Unless we're talking about different photos, I think the one I saw was fake. It was a heap of what used to be a person.

I don't think it's a full fake, or even Photoshopped. I think it was just taken somewhere else.

I'm with you on thinking that the very graphic photo is possibly fake. The reason why is there are a lot of websites that have pictures just like that--easy to come across. You dont' have to dig deep on the internet for them. They usually originate out of south american or an asian country where the victim was hit by a semi or large truck. Those pics look just like that one we are talking about.

ETA: what carbuff said, not faked but from a different place not the bombings.

I see two black packs near the finish line where a guy is taking photos, near some boxes.

Rachel is saying that the FBI is saying that the black thing on the white striped line IS the backpack believed to contain one of the bombs.

 

[matou]

The pressure cookers were filled with nails, ball bearings and black powder, and the devices were triggered by “kitchen-type” egg timers, one official said.

[matou]

Forensic experts said the design and components of the homemade devices were generic but that the marking “6L,” indicating a six-liter container, could help identify a brand and manufacturer and possibly lead to information on a purchase.

So if the 3rd victim is a FEMALE... then maybe that is the one who didn't have visible injuries?
I still can't imagine a doctor missing Krystle's injuries.

There appears to be a little girl in pink (being held) and a little boy behind her, beside the woman in a grey/black striped shirt holding a big black purse. I think I saw the purse in another picture somewhere. I wonder if that is Martin's family and if he was in front of them? They may have shifted closer to Krystle as the crowd moved.

there seems to be alittle boy by Krystle with a white fleece and a baseball cap on. I wonder if that's Martin? He probably wasa trying to get up closer to see his Dad finish.Poor little guy.

 

[Hope32]

so I see Krystle and her friend. There are 3 asian people in front of them. one appears to be a girl wearing sunglasses and is looking in the direction of the photo. the gray thing behind krystle i think is someone with gray pants bending over>>\

there also seems to be a group of asian decent people farther up the photo (past the gray item/person) that was wearing a brownish leather jacket and sunglasses.

I hate to say this, but if you look at the head in that picture (the one believed to not be from the event), and the shape of the hairline, I do believe it is Martin. I am crying thinking about it and wish I could erase it from my mind, but I can't. :'(

I see what you mean, closer to the fiinnsh line right? I think those are much to far from the blast site, imo.

 

[carbuff]

The whole area was littered with backpacks. Runners who don't have family/friends waiting stash their gear around the finish line so they can change etc. after they finish.

Anyone can download the Anarchist Cookbook (published in 1971) as a PDF on the internet. If you google the title of the book---bam there it is.

I think that whoever made this bomb might have had to practice first to make sure to get it right. I hope anyone that knows someone that might have done that calls in and reports it.

 

[bassline]

its a hot day you have to wonder why the guy standing next to the girls has a hooded sweatshirt pulled up over his head.. hes right behind the girls and what appears to be martin and family.

I thought the first blast was at the finish line? Where was the first blast?

 

[dotr]

I really dont think it's a picture from this event. the body is laying on white interrupted lines. There is no white lines near the 1st explosion and we have pics and videos of that area and that body was not seen. On the 2nd bomb blast there is a white line further out on the road, but it is an uninterrupted line and you can see from this picture (no graphic things in it) that no body is there.:

http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/...usive-fbi-investigating-photo-that-shows-bag/

I just don't know what to make out of that picture. And that body would have been in the death counts yesterday immediately after the event, because they are very obviously deceased. And that person has an adult sized calf and larger shoes than a young boy would wear. The Chinese person could be the only possibility, but they would have been included in the counts yesterday and there is no where making the crime scenes that this body is lying. Also this person would have had to been directly on the bomb to be so severely injured, so much more so then all the rest of the victims. So ?????? i have no idea. All I know is that it's AWFUL

Wondering if the young man in grey with shoulder strap , glasses, goatee, dark hair stepping out in front of doorway 755 in (before blast) pic from link, has been accounted for?

 

[Alicia_marie]

I also believe in the very left top of the image you guys are looking at, behind the stands, is the man in the blue sweater. Does that look about right?

I still can't imagine a doctor missing Krystle's injuries.

Its possible I misread the Dr's statements, but I thought he had said that he didn't see injury that would likely cause her to expire. Not that she didn't have visible injuries anywhere....just that he didn't have them where he'd expect her to pass away from them, if you KWIM?
