Library incident now being described as a "fire" with no connection to the blasts.

very coincidental if thats the case

That "man on the roof" image is proper eerie too

As someone pointed out earlier ?

Probably a photographre or something, people jump to conclusions.

Yeaaah more than likely.

There are people on roofs all the time for maintenance. There were three different lots on our roof at work today alone for various things. That photo doesn't mean anything.

8 year old confirmed as one of the dead. Horrible

RIP unlucky people. Horrible scenes.

Been out this evening, has it been confirmed as a likely terrorist(against the west) attack?

Called a "terror" attack (as it is). But nothing saying whether it's national or international.

My parents are both in Boston. Both are fine though! My dad ran but finished half an hour beforehand.

Words can't describe the fear that swept through me when I first heard.

RIP all those that lost their lives.

I don't understand why, unless it was a "dress rehearsal", that they chose to "do" the Boston but not the London Marathon. Surely the London Marathon would reach more people?

Seems a little odd, I can't help feeling nervous as my father is running on Sunday. Also for charity and the guy wouldn't hurt a fly, but this does not matter to the virmin that poison our planet.

On reflection, I suppose Boston could be chosen for precisely this reason, to get people thinking and speculating about events that won't even occur.

Very depressing. These tradgedies are all too frequent in my opinion. Not a very good week for the state of society. With copious amounts of football violence, on which numerous threads I have steered cleared of, and this devastation, I do worry for the state of our planet, more specifically humans are doing to it, both environmentally and socially.

You're assuming the terrorist's aren't American.

That says a lot about me I suppose. Worryingly narrow minded from my part!

Wow AC

I count myself and my family very lucky. I can't imagine how others are feeling.

no,
WHOEVER it is I hope them and their family rot in hell.

I know I should get angry at the person/groups responsable. No doubt I am. But this infuriates me the most.

So shocked.

I was meant to be in Boston this week. Thank God the trip was cancelled last week. Feel sick thinking about it.

My team are based in an office a few blocks away from there and I visit every few months. Was absolutely terrified when I saw the news and recognized the street right away. Called my friends/colleagues there and fortunately they had all sprinted away from the scene as soon as possible and got home.

It is Patriots Day in Massachusetts, which some are suspecting may have been a reason for some nationalistic involvement. Just speculation though.

It might not be right but you can see why there is a level of hatred towards Muslims for it. I know 99.999% of them go about their daily lives causing no trouble at all, but everytime people are slaughtered by acts of terrorism, it's always a muslim that confesses/is caught to have done/doing it

I am shocked at this, but sadly not surprised. It will only be a matter of time before this happens in an arena/stadium.

R.I.P
