unclear as to the exact count right now, but I'm hearing that in addition to the 2 explosions, there were another 2, possibly 3 undetonated devices? god

in addition to the stretcher dude who seems to be missing a foot, Channel 5 keeps showing footage of a woman in a wheelchair being rushed to treatment whose right foot looks like.. it might fall off
it could just be because of how it's bandaged but... I don't think so? then again I'm not in the habit of looking at pics of almost severed feet so grain of salt etc

just the idea of starting out the day running a marathon and ending up permanently disabled, jesus.

CBS News reporting that police might have a suspect on surveillance footage.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 15 April 2013 20:37 (eleven years ago) link
the dude at Channel 5 is editorializing hardcore about people on the scene not being able to process what happened, leaving out the inconvenient fact that most of these people just ran a marathon and are exhausted

Devices/bombs likely place in garbage cans. Third device found unexploded in a garbage can as well.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 15 April 2013 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
i want to hold back on what to believe about the unexploded devices, that sounds like something that could easily be misinformation/misidentification. but still.

allegedly the first blast came from inside Marathon Sports, according to Channel 5

CBS is pretty confused about the number of bombs. I don't think I'm able to go to bed before knowing that everyone is safe.

fucking Jane Harman floating rumors about responsibility (an English magazine published in Yemen instructing how to construct a bomb) is the WORST.

Press conference said that the third device/explosion at the JFK library was legit.
― Jeff, Monday, 15 April 2013 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
Not fifteen minutes ago there was "confirmation" on the news that the JFK Library fire was "mechanical" and unrelated, now it's confirmed that it was a 3rd explosion where nobody was injured.

they got someone's cell phone video of the 2nd explosion on Channel 5; not at all graphic, and on the second explosion the person filming freaks out and starts running, still filming
the camera is obviously pointing down, swinging wildly as the person runs, and the dude on Channel 5 says "at the end, you can see someone's legs go flying through the air"
this is very obviously NOT the case, what you see is a swinging camera filming the legs of running people with the camera adjusting poorly for rapid light changes
