Watching on the news can't believe the video !
Prayers for the family of those who have been killed.
But I have to ask, why are they restricting air space over boston?
I could understand not allowing any planes to take off, but restricted air space??????
Do they think the bombs had bio agents in it or something?
That's the only feasible explanation I can think of right now to warrant restricted movement.

because if the bombs were preemptive or softening...any sort of follow up blow can come from anywhere so shut down air space over an incident is the only logical step since they don’t know about who did it or their capabilities….for all they know they could have came from the sky in the first place.John A. said:
It’s not uncommon especially if the government is flying all over that air space right now. It will also cut down on all civilian rubber necking and media helo’s…..we put TFR’s up over incidents all the time for just the latter two
My thoughts go out to those who have been lost and their families. Danger and evil people are a constantly in the shadows no matter how safe we think we are. Some things are unforeseeable, but it goes to show that threats EXIST. Now more than ever the strength of this nation relies on the unity of our people (or at least respect?), but at it's current state I fear we are are very vulnerable.
Yeah, heard it on the "news" at work. Looks like 2 dead, 80+ injured, multiple limbs lost. All cell phone service has been shutdown to preempt any further attempts to detonate more bombs via cell phone.
Video looks pretty bad. Most injured were spectators with their backs to the detonation.
Now Chicago is implementing extra security measures...guess they feel that the bombs at the Boston Marathon will somehow come to their doorstep...easy way to enact martial law in larger cities...

It would be nice to get some real information on what exactly happened. At this point I really have no idea what to believe.

My niece lives on that street. She's not allowed to go to her apt, cuz the streets a crime scene. She and her fiance were both at work when it went off. Thank god. My brother was flipping out when the news came about. Man...if anything happened to his kids, he would be a force to be reckoned with, and I'd be right there beside him.
Interesting point....bombs and killing people are against the law. Right? Yet those laws did not stop whom ever did it....
