    There's a thread in the PoFo too. Not sure where it belongs more or if it's ok in both. :confused2:

    Police say are they still finding "secondary devices," pleading with crowd to go home

    Everyone up there be careful.

    Wonder why people would stick around an area like that. Seems odd to me.

    Probably don't know what to do. Afraid that more bombs would explode if they even move.

    My prayers are with the people up there.

    If I had family or friends still running, or someone I lost in the chaos, I might initially hang around the finish line area to try and find them

    When you live up here, it's amazing how everyone you know - knows someone running in the race.
    Luckily, no one I know got injured, but my daughters 4th grade teacher was at mile 25 when they stopped her and another person I know finished just ahead od the explosions.

    Just saw 8 year old died, there isn't a punishment cruel enough for the SOB that did this. I hope this wasn't a political statement on gun control by some right wing nutjob. I thought that there were supposed to be a crowd of Newtown residents at the grandstands across from the explosions.

    I couldn't imagine running 26.2 miles let alone having a bomb go off when I get there.
    Then innocent people lose their limbs.
    Focus folks.

    Exactly. Tragic in every sense of the word.

    I like how this action is useless considering you were quoted in each of my posts.

    I can solve that.

    As Crunchtime said, this is not the website for graphic photos.
