Explosions at Boston Marathon

[Grey Sadler]

This is terrible. I have no words.

[GlennLover]

Terrible, terrible happening. I was at a seminar at church tonight & we prayed for all those affected by the explosions.

Just read on the news highlights scrolling across the bottom of the TV screen that police have said that the JFK Library explosion was not related.

Another event that is just beyond comprehension!

At the risk of appearing to be the board's resident nutjob, I must ask: does nobody else suspect this was an inside job? I realize this may be opening Pandora's box here...but I want to know if anyone else in here is aware that the government is behind more than most people realize.

[Glennsallnighter]

As an 'outsider' I would never presume to comment on America's politics.

I lived and worked in Boston for 4 wonderful months in 1989 and it was absolutely heartbreaking to hear of this incident, and to hear the names of my well loved streets being quoted in such an awful incident.

My heart goes out to the people of Boston, and also to the race participants from all over the world. And I sincerely hope and pray that the death toll will rise no further and the injured will recover as fully as possible.

Wow, that's quite a statement....NO I do not believe this was any kind of inside job. Looks like a possible terrorist attack or some kind of nut with a political agenda....They will find out.

Today, I will expect full force of security at Grand Central Station where I work; the dogs will be out in mass & cops everywhere. They do not mess around here. I have to ride the train, which is a hassle to begin with, but this is life in NY...Getting late, gotta leave for work now

Prayers to those in Boston after this tragedy

[Brooke]

Another senseless tragedy. People are crazy. Prayers for everyone affected.

[sodascouts]

So awful. I too am praying for those affected.

[glenneaglesfan]

Shocked and devastated by this atrocious attack. Thoughts and prayers for all affected.

I agree with you. I have been to Boston once, in 1980. It's very sad but I make no further comment.
