Oh jeez, AP reporter on TV says Newtown families were in the VIP section right by the explosion. No injury reports, she's locked down w/ one

I saw that, too. My initial thought was that the average runner is going to be exhausted, so a blast in the area with weakened legs could bring a person down without getting hit by something.

Yeah, it's like he got hit in the ear or something and just started staggering around.

Right, saw that. Couldn't tell if it was concussion from the blast, but nobody else (including people who were closer) didn't go down, so I found that a bit odd. Shrapnel would make more sense.

That's what I thought and it's not uncommon in that race either. Been to it before. In fact, I worked a block from the race and would go down on a break to watch part of it.

That actually crossed my mind, but didn't want to say anything lest it be taken the wrong way.

Not much of a point, but the reason why terrorism is what it is is because of the amt of news coverage it gets. And second point, ppl ITT indicating ppl they know being paranoid about something happening to them etc

Probably the concussion from the explosion knocking his equilibrium off.

ok we are going to need an eagle/photo of event/american flag and send this down to branson to sell.

We are only a terrorist attack or two away from martial law. Look at the stock market! Doom on!

And probably near exhaustion anyway.
