Very sad news out of Boston.

No Fly zone over Boston and I believe over some other cities in the US. Some flights have been delayed.
 
Very sad incident,

If there is any AFFer's in Boston hope they are safe

Terrible tragedy in Boston in an area which I frequent on my trips to Boston. So sad to see this happening again. Let’s hope they get those responsible. To harm innocent men women and children is unforgivable.

Picture 8 is extremely graphic. Yes and I really mean it. Think of the poor bugger just standing there and this S**t happens to him on Patriots day. So if you are squeamish then don’t open it. Also note the wording on the guys shirt. I hope the man in the wheel chair will be alright.

Note all my family the live and work in the Boston area are fine.

I also heard reported that the authorities had closed cell phone infrastructure, as they were worried about the use of mobiles and remote detonations. A concern for those innocent people trying to call in/out of BOS, but for the greater good
 
Very sad to wake up to this news, hope they get the people responsible for this tragedy soon.

Scott.
 
My wifes (extended) family are from Boston, and were around the corner from where the explosions happened.

Too close for comfort.

I saw the aftermath of a car crash near SPU and saw one guy that was thrown from his vehicle and his whole leg detached 100 metres away...
 
Not good to hear this happened and then not long after a fertiliser plant in West, Texas exploding.

Something is not quite right.

Graphic was an understatement! Luckily I don't get too squeamish about these things. Apparently that man helped id the suspects as he was standing right next to where one of the bombs was dropped. I wonder if we'll ever find out why...

It has been alleged the older brother was very into the preachings of a certain person out of SYD... The younger brother probably influenced by the older brother.

To think these bombs only cost $100 a piece... Makes you think when you go to sporting event or watch fireworks on NYE.
