Attention Please!


This is NOT the Political Pavilion and so far is known at this time, this is NOT a political issue. NO one knows who, what, did this. Let's hold off inferring or speculating conservative/liberal/ yadda, yadda, yadda!

There was supposedly another device found along Boylston Street that was found and defused.

My friend's daughter was running, they can't find her, oh my!

Oh no...prayers extended for your friend and her daughter...

The footage CNN keeps showing with the old man falling down at the blast makes me so sad! It always brings tears to my eyes when I see an old person fall or get hurt - even in movies! Turns my stomach.

He isn't physically hurt by the blast (no limbs I mean) but his legs buckled.

I had to turn the channel because I knew I couldn't crawl through the tv to hug him and it just made me feel the same as you. I'm so glad he is ok.

Praying she is OK and in a safe place.

The video on the local CBS station shows him getting up and moving away.

Ummmmm Hello CNN

They have shut cell service down!!!! How the heck do you think they are going to get info from there. Cell service has been shut down in boston because they are scared that that bombs could be detonated by cell phones!

Reports of people continuing to run to Mass General to give blood for the injured. Great people right there.

Probably just a rumor but some posters on Yahoo News are saying that two Saudi nationals have been arrested. Have not seen anything like that on all the media I am following.

Any tragedy like this has a lot of false reports in coverage in the first hours, just watch tape from 11-22-63 and hear all the wild stuff being reported. I'd still like to hear from anyone else who has heard this.

Cell phones are supposedly down in the area. Saying a prayer.

Logan is still open BUT they are initiating emergency procedures which could delay flights.

If you look at the footage of that fall closely, you can see some sort of debris flying toward the gentleman who falls down. It appears to be plastic or glass of some kind. He seems to be either attempting to dodge in avoiding it, or he looses his balance at the blast and then the debris appears to hit him as he falls and then flies on past him to his right hand side.

22 victims at Mass General....6 are critical...life threatening....amputations and limb loss....

This is just sick and insane....

The suspect being guarded in the hospital was mentioned back a couple pages.
