I'm hearing devices were hidden in garbage cans, definitely terrorist attack.

congratulations for being the first person to say it!

though since you did tbh the whole "probably an accident oh wait second explosion" thing did immediately make me think 9/11

Multiple reports of serious injuries.

I'll be saying a good few prayers tonight for those injured. I've been through explosions like this and it's truly terrifying. I'm incredibly lucky not to have been affected as some of these people will have.

Yes, 3+ dead, 30+ wounded. Carnage outside Prudential, looks pretty bad.

What motive would someone have for bombing a marathon? Is this a domestic terrorist, or could it even be North Korea?

Huh. Only three dead? Not exactly crack terrorist work.

I live in Massachusetts and there are 6 injured and the FBI is investigating the explosion. This world is strange how people have the instinct to cause damage and harm to people at some of the most innocent events.

Pointless speculation is pointless. It could have been anyone, or there might be a more benign explanation yet (I still hope for that).

It's no World Trade Center, but apparently dozens are injured.

I'm hearing 3+ people confermed dead but that's likely to go up. Cowardly bastards!

It's too soon to say it was a bombing, or an attack by any organized group. For all we know, it could have been a gas line that exploded.

Bombs =/= terrorist.

Some people like to blow things up. Some people want to kill people for the sake of it. Sometimes those people are one-and-the-same.

Is there terror as a result? Yes

Seems pretty crack work.

No info yet. The bombs only went off less than an hour ago.

Doesn't need to be these days.
Look at it. Within minutes, you had two Brits watching BBC news posting threads on it and a panic whipped up within. Just look at the pictures from the street.

All you have to do is make people afraid, which is the exact aim of terrorism.
