was 25 feet from blast #1..
2 confermed dead one a 8y/o kid
over 100 hurt 50 very very bad, like missing legs, etc.
2 blast happened not long after 1st..

the 3rd was the police setting on the one they found. they have found at least 4 more..
they shut down all cell service so they could not set off anymore..

(here's what he said concerning the ball bearings)
not some... many.. sadly..
I'm shaking so bad..
'm not good with blood and having to help the med.. wasn't good, but you don'y think about that then,, but it's hitting me now..

He's very lucky to even be alive. God Bless ya, Mark

Prayers go out to all at the scene,and the families who lost loved ones there today..Your bud Mark is indeed lucky to be alive after being so close to it all.. It is indeed a filthy act,when innocent children get caught up in it all.. i hope the lowlife pond scum responsible get caught,,and soon..

I just found out that another good friend of mine, who is a professional pilot for a large Corp. was there also and here's what he just posted.

I was standing about 1/2 block from the VIP stands about 5 minutes before the first blast, then headed out because of the crowd. When the 1st one went off, I was about a block away, and the 2nd caught me about 1-1/2 blocks away. It looked like those New York 911 films...I hugged a building to keep from getting ran over by the panicked people running from the scene......prayers for the victims, for sure.

Mello, your friend was really lucky. Shoot, a lot of people were really lucky. Shrapnel, ball bearings, etc, doesn't care what it goes through. It just does. They are also very lucky the others were discovered before they were set off. I hope they can find whom ever responsible before the media has it all screwed up like the Connecticut situation...........................

We are way too logical in our thinking of justice.If foreign,I want those governments to think those crazy Americans want a eye for a eye revenge and will go anywhere in the world to get it...................

If domestic,the hell with a trial.A military tribunal................sign me up to be on the firing squad.

Condolences to the victims, their families and friends and to all the american peoples.
I wish that we in australia could do something worthwhile to help you all.

Mark said that some of our "finest" had come to run the Race in full gear with pack and had just plopped down to rest and catch their breath when the first bomb exploded. He said they immediately jumped to their feet and ran to assist in any way possible. God Bless our Service men and women, Em

I want the whole world to know that anyone who enters our boarders to do a act like this,we will put the same amount of thought as they did as to who we hurt or kill.For terrorist to work there has to be a victim and revenge is ours to be had.A active program of not wars,but we have enter their world of terror within their boarders doing the same thing to them never to be the victim again.

Sounds like the same mentally and rhetoric which have kept Afghanistan a third world county. They maintain blood feuds for generations, and can wait 50 years to implement a response. No, I hope if you really examine your response you will see it to be misguided. Heartfelt, yes, but not a practical solution.

Even though we would like to handle things an eye for an eye, it'd be nice first to catch the worthless POS's that did it!

If we as a country were to duplicate the methods and tactics of a terrorist we would then become just another terrorist country!!!! Personally I still have faith in our law enforcement people that they will apprehend those responsible and our judicial system will see that they are never again able to commit any acts of terrorism...

I pray that you are correct, Dave, but I have lost all faith in our Judicial System. Hell, us Texans are still waiting for Nadal Hasan to go on trial after killing 13+ innocent people at Ft. Hood "Several Years Ago".

Did we lose one or more posts from this thread this afternoon? Thought I noticed something after Emmet's #27?

as many criminal bombings we do in pakistan somebody over there may have gotten tired of it. not saying 2 wrong make a right but we need to stop F&*(ing with people and then expect them to NOT react to our dipshit government's actions.
