What the hell? I know it's too early to claim terrorism but 2 blasts 15 seconds apart at an event like this....

I have to admit, any time I go to a game, concert whatev, where thousands of people are gathered, the possibility crosses my mind about how easy it would be for someone to take out a bunch of us real quick.

Oh, they just cleared it all up. They had forgotten to send the email out to the runners that this year's run would include an obstacle course.

There's another disability case. I'm hearing the term "cordite" being thrown around in the media now.

That article said they have a suspect and, more importantly, they found and dismantled 2 more bombs. If those had gone off......

Yeah...Read where the JFK Library is on fire and they think from an explosion but don't know if it is linked to the other two.
