It is so stupid that some people are jumping to conclusions and starting the blame game when they have no evidence, they should leave the Police to do their jobs and I hope they get whoever is responsible for this evil act.

95% of the tweets are people getting at other people for blaming Muslims.

Fox News just freaked everyone at the airport out by saying the explosion was at JFK Airport instead of Library :rolleyes:

MTVN 15-04-2013 09:03 PM

The NY Post is claiming there's 12 dead and a Saudi national is being guarded as a suspect in a Boston hospital

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/nationa...wASg0RQfVsH1yI

Not sure how reliable that is though

BBfanUSA 15-04-2013 09:04 PM

Boston sporting events have been cancelled in the area tonight. Hockey's Bruins have cancelled their home game

JFK Airport is in New York, Da Fuq?

I hate that. You can't unsee. It really upsets me when I accidentally see a graphic photo from a disaster.

Thanks, I just put on the news.

And thanks for the warning Vicky, I'm gonna avoid looking for images of it on the net.

Vicky. 15-04-2013 09:14 PM

The one of a man with his leg blown off sat in a wheelchair? I saw that, it's horrific. I find it kind of sick people feel the need to report these graphic images like it's some sort of horror movie. It's quite disrespectful to the people depicted IMO.

Brother Leon 15-04-2013 09:15 PM

The leg picture?

I saw that when I tried search twitter for info. :(

Josy 15-04-2013 09:16 PM

The images are horrific :(

lily. 15-04-2013 09:16 PM

I've not seen that image. Hopefully I won't.

swinearefine 15-04-2013 09:17 PM

That was the first thing I saw when I turned on the news, was on a live feed

GypsyGoth 15-04-2013 09:18 PM

Just when it seemed like the world was coming back to some form of normality.

Then Why I haven't heard this on TV over here? CBS,ABC, NBC would've already reported it.

NBC reporting that people were finishing the marathon and running straight to the general hospital to give blood #Boston

lily. 15-04-2013 09:24 PM

A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

"At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.

The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.

"Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.

The Post report was attributed to "a law enforcement source." According to the Post, the "suspect" is "currently being guarded in a Boston hospital."
