Thanks for the site Beowulf. It always happens out of the blue. Wish some group of survivors would turn around and attack the attackers the same way (sorry for my response, but I'm from New York City and clearly remember September 2001).

I see you're in Flushing. Yes, 911. Unspeakable.

Of course no one knows yet who did this, foreign plot or individual but Boston PD is looking for the mailman who parked his truck on Boyleston Street. He has not returned to it and he is not among the casualties.2 more explosive devices found at Boston Marathon; being dismantled I just read the London Marathon is this weekend.

NYPost reporting they are a holding a suspect in Boston Hospital.

So far, 2 deaths have been reported. I really hope that number doesn't get any higher.

"Authorities ID suspect as Saudi National..."

Course just because he's a suspect doesn't mean this is the guy, just a suspect.

Just seen report that there has also been an explosion at the JFK library...

For some reason now they're saying that was a fire in the JFK library. ?

Read this: Waco Seige was 4/19/93. Oklahoma City Bombing was 4/19/95. Columbine High School Shooting was 4/20/99. Boston Bombing was 4/15/2013.

Depressing that we can amass such facts, though.

Do these people think that the world will change to suit their needs simply because they kill a load of people at random?

[Beowulf]

This is the most vivid, chaotic and frightening video so far of the Boston explosion, as it happened.

One thing, they have said not just one guy could've set those bombs.

I know early reports have to be treated cautiously but networks now reporting a suspect is in custody in Boston Hospital and has been identified as a Saudi national...

It's frightening. Bewildering.

LA Times [on-line]—

A federal law enforcement official said authorities were questioning a Saudi national who was taken to a Boston hospital with injuries. The person was not identified as a suspect.

Read this: Waco Seige was 4/19/93. Oklahoma City Bombing was 4/19/95. Columbine High School Shooting was 4/20/99. Boston Bombing was 4/15/2013.

The Oklahoma City bombing was, in fact, on the anniversary of the Waco siege
by design, and we have Timothy McVeigh's word on that, but that does not mean that any of the conspiracy theories McVeigh believed about the siege were true.

The attack today was because the Boston Marathon was today. That simple. Why the Columbine shooting was the day it was, I don't know, but supposedly the original plan was for bombs inside to require evacuation, and for the shooters to snipe people from the roof, so you can see why they'd wait for good weather.

"Counterterrorism officials found what they believe to be five additional, undetonated explosive devices around the Boston area, according to two people briefed on the rapidly moving investigation."
