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

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."

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

King Gizzard 15-04-2013 09:26 PM

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

Ramsay 15-04-2013 09:28 PM

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

Brother Leon 15-04-2013 09:29 PM

The Newtown families were in the VIP Section.
