Boston Marathon Explosions

[tut]

Just about to ask when you were back Craig. There were so many police cars, SWAT, Special Forces, ARU, etc, that there was a traffic jam on the roads and nobody could move.

Boston is closed down all for a bomber with a broken leg that they can not find.

ps:- another 9,000 security forces just shipped in as re-inforcements.

pss:- you can get a banana Craig, chap with a barrow outside your hotel.

Psss don't ask for someone to get you a banana massage in the hotel. VERY different thing.

They said that he was Chechen, but as he was trying to escape in a boat in the garden, he must have had Irish blood in him.

Got to laugh at that. Looks like the end of a marathon to me.
Lots of foreign visitors, water bottles and kit bags.
People on mobiles would be in every cctv image worldwide these days.

All the more reason for peacefull American home owners to have assault rifles.

I love a good conspiracy and questions should be asked regarding the contents on that link, and by the way the Americans never landed on the moon

Sorry I didn't even think about that.

Thanks for updating.

Best comment i ever heard about conspiracy theorists was something along the lines of.....

Have you noticed that conspiracy theorists believe EVERY theory - surely there must be theories that are so unlikely that even they go "that sounds unlikely"

If I get a chance tomorrow Ill post up some pics of Boston during the man hunt. 4.5 million people living there and literally noone on the streets, its very eery.

WRT to the conspiracy stuff, cant comment on the bombers or what happened with them but a good norwegian friend of mine was less than 100 metres from the explosion and witnessed both explosions. There was no fake bombing as has been suggested on some sites. Poor guy was ex Nvay and was sank (originally told torpedoed but since told it was an accident) during service which has always alledgedly left him a little shaken. He was not hurt from the bomb but was an emotional mess and ended up being hospitilised last thursday. He had to see something which caused that.

What's with the big gash on his side?
Exit wound from bullets?

I suspect the wounds were from hospital procedures...but I may be wrong.
