Sky news on about london marathon + thatchers funeral...no plans to raise our terror threat level apparently

The only real threat is people trying to do copycat explosions but I don't think theres a threat to either the funeral or the marathon, this seemed pretty planned to be in accordance with Patriots Day

Crazy stuff, RIP to those who died..awful awful news to hear

The Newtown families were in the VIP Section.

Library situation may not be connected..

They're checking every parcel in the city wow.

the photo going around with the guy casually walking on top of a roof after the bombs went off is quite scary

Really sad scenes, hope the death toll doesn't rise, it is bad enough that it's reported people have likely lost limbs and ares eriously injured.

Man on Boston common has been handcuffed. Police shouting at people to clear the area.

I just saw this on Tumblr I mean what the ****?! This is just so out of the blue?!

I saw a video of it on the bBC too and don't really know what to say except that I'm quite shocked by it all. :conf2:

This is a worrying situation, my sympathies go out to the families involved, don't know why anyone would target such an event which has a high concentration of people in a relatively small area.

Very worrying given the public funeral on Wed in London.

Listening to news programmes now where the so called experts have already decided it is the work of Islamic terrorists regardless of the lack of evidence.

Anyone see a pattern here...???

So sad :( and as usual has spurred loads of sanctimonious arseholes on Facebook moaning about how we don't treat every Baghdad market bombing like this.

Obama is now speaking about it on skynews.

Except it isn't though is it.. I mean, the whole world knew a bombing or a terrorist attack in general was on it's way - not saying this is related to N Korea but you know, it's not exactly shocking.

Nobody with half a brain cell could think this had anything to do with North Korea...!!!

Nedusa, Patrick...

I don't really think many people expected a terrorist attack on a charity event such as this, let alone for it to be orchestrated by a country as incompetent as North Korea.

8 year old child apparently one of the people who died..

ugh gets worse with every piece of info.

it just gets worse

**** sake

:(

Such tasteful headlines from the Express and the Mail. Telegraph's not that much better actually :bored:

Just seen the pictures out of curiosity. Looks horrific.

It's awful :( and I've just had to see it again cause it's been shared onto my Facebook news feed :bored:

Just seen that too. :(

i dont understand why people do this. do they think they will get likes for sharing the picture? totally insensitive

It's not too bad. But I agree with Caitlin, these poor guys have had their worst moments shown all over the world

The picture, not too bad? It's ****ing horrific.

strange thing is, he doesn't look likes he's in too much pain

He's probably in shock. :(

poor guy. hopefully because now everyone has seen the pic, we find out what happens to him.

3rd explosion confirmed?

Welcome to 4 hours ago,Caitlin ;)

Unrelated Fire.

I think the one at the library was confirmed as just a fire and nothing to do with the bombs.

Westboro Baptist Church :bored:
