You mean it wasn't Ryan Lanza?

Easier perhaps but you have to remember that the death toll isn't just what international terrorists are after but the method and shock of how it happened as well.


On the surface this seems more like a McVey type than a Bin Laden type of bombing but then again, WTF knows?

Possible. Would be a hell of a coincidence though.

One explosion maybe, not two.

Yep. A dear friend and neighbor of ours was in the race today. Praying she is okay.

FWIW we've had such issues in Copley before. For some reason if there's an electrical fire in Boston that knocks out a major grid and causes a fire, it happens in Copley.

The timing is hella coincidental though for an accident.

Wow, short-lived explosion but that thing had some serious force.

For those of you who are like "umm, WTF is he talking about", he's referring to the Boston Molasses Disaster, which killed a couple dozen and wounded over a hundred.

that's just nuts. never heard of this. I read what you wrote and thought NO FRIGGING WAY!

2,300,000 gallons of molasses rolling down the street.
the wave 8-15 ft tall!

anyways....prayers out to those in Boston....

That sounds about right based on the pictures I've seen so far.
