It may be true, but keep in mind this is the NY Post. Every other outlet is reporting only 2 people have passed away while the Post is saying 12.

Mum was able to find out that my Dad is OK. She hasn't seen or heard from him, but apparently he's OK. Not sure how that works but it sounds promising to me!

Suspect?

That is what she said. She is a PACU nurse so didn't know anything beyond that.

Any more info on this?

I would expect it, and most other "investigation" related information is going to be kept quiet for now unless it's important to public safety.

Nothing yet.

It's probs worth pointing out that this close after the event, they'll probably be a huge number of person's of interest (witnesses, possible suspects, etc) so it's unlikely to even be someone involved in the bombing directly.

Very happy that you have confirmation that your Family is ok.
I hope all Canadians were ok and hopefully the Death count stays at 2 here.

Oh man....if they do have the right guy, I hope to GOD the media doesn't give this clown his 15 mins or the chance to spread his "message". Don't print his name, or his "cause".

Governor Duvall press conference right now. BPD Police Commisioner speaking now.

Explosions 50 - 100 yards apart.

Also, that guy's nurse wife is a hosebag. She's inviting more trouble. Idiot. Not to mention it's possible she broke HIPAA laws there.

Here's a video of the explosion. Don't know if I can embed it or not.

Scary. But all those who rushed towards the bomb are heros

I think you have the right idea but this isnt realistic. When anything happens in anyones life no matter how significant, the first question is always "why?". In my opinion, the victims families and the city of Boston will want to know what was so important that people had to lose their lives over it.

Hopefully this doesn't inspire nutjobs to target other large profile sporting events. Usually it's the stadiums / arenas that are mentioned as targets - I've never once wondered about the start/finish of an event like this.

Glad to hear most people have heard from friends/family. Feeling pretty ill for those injured or killed.

Too many people with mental illness fall through the cracks in the joke that is the U.S. health system.

And I totally agree but no sane person is ever going to understand "why". I honestly do feel if they media would stop sensationalizing crap like this, it may be less appealing for nut jobs to do it in the first place.

Nothing infuriates me more then media standing by taking pictures or gawking and getting in the way when they could easily help out with something simple like helping take down a fence.

Seriously? Let's not blame this on mental illness or the health system.

Sometimes people are just bad apples with strong beliefs and bad intentions.

Apparently it was just a fire in the mechanical room. Hopefully its not related.
