Boston marathon bombings

Apr 15, 2013 17:36

I'm fine; I wasn't anywhere near Boston today.
diego001, who was at the finish line, is fine as well, though shaken.
keori is fine.


nickymccloud forwarded me WCVB-TV's live feed of marathon news. Many links and photos.

Regardless of what you may have heard, no arrests have been made so far, which is kind of unsurprising three hours after the blasts. The New York [Com]Post was happy to claim that a Saudi national had been arrested. However, as this person notes, today is Patriots' Day in Mass., and April 15 is the U.S. deadline for filing income taxes for the previous year. (See this comment as well.)

So, uh.... yeah, I don't know any more than you do at the moment, but certain revelations wouldn't surprise me. Unlocked.

ETA: Oh, jesus. Some parents from Newtown, Connecticut, presumably those whose kids were shot, had a place of honor at the finish line.

ETA II: Additional helpful links.
