    The word Joe Biden used to describe what happened was a "bombing," but he doesn't know who did it, according to ABC.

    Suspicious packages in some Boston hotels. They're being evacuated.

    Awful, watching the news here. Got a hint of what the IRA used to do with secondary devices, just complete cowardice.

    It's disgusting. My boss was there today with his family. He texted his secretary to let us know they were okay. My heart goes out to the victims though. Terrible day.

    Apparently it is highly likely to be a "terrorist attack", they have just shut down the cell network in Boston, and closed off the local airspace.

    I have just seen the pictures on the news. It is heart breaking to see people just being normal on a marathon and see two bombs go off right next to them.

    As someone said is bringing back memories of the IRA attacks in the UK, small scale attacks on public gatherings, as opposed to a 911 stile genocide.

    Thoughts and Prayers with the victims :-( . I am going to Boston soon with my boyfriend, I am somewhat scared

    :< Major suckage here. And you know what really breaks my heart? That those people were just going out to enjoy themselves. They were looking forward to this day. They were probably so excited when they got out of bed this morning. They marked it on their calendars and everything and it just makes me sad to think that their day was ruined by such a tragic event.
