JFK library

Possible explosion at the JFK library

I'm hearing unrelated fire. But then also hearing incendiary devices found. Absolutely nothing I can find from credible sources stating it was part of it.

[Aussiefalconfan]

someone just said they found 2 other small bombs and are in the process of dismantling them as we speak

[Deuce]

All that police/military presence and this still happened?

[William Walters]

some of the images are beyond comprehension

a lot of innocent people have already had limbs amputated

horrible

hug your loved ones tonight people

[MUHerd37]

Already have a suspect.

[SamDiamond]

NY Post reporting there is a suspect in custody with shrapnel injuries.

[MUHerd37]

All that police/military presence and this still happened?

Unarmed military personnel that can't do anything.

Well said. Unfortunately NY post reporting 12 dead and 50+ injured. Doubt that's the case already though as other news shouldn't be that far behind.

Also in their article, they reported that Newton Connecticut families were attending the race in a VIP area by the finish line, unknown if any of them are among the injured.

Wow, those poor families...

NY Post reporting there is a suspect in custody with shrapnel injuries.

Also reporting 12 dead and 50+ injured, they seem to be well ahead of other news outlets, not quite buying it.

SBR just salooned this. Terrorist attack and SBR saloons the discussion?

[greenhippo]

Thank god we took the time to Saloon this thread.

[Untied]

All the runners undeterred, still going toward finish line, passing bombed area.
It's a warzone and they want their fukking free T-shirt.

Unreal.

[Louisvillekid1]

Almost feels like this is small attack setting up for something bigger. Distracting everyone on this one...

Amazing huh.

They thought it was part of the celebratory process. Don't be stupid. Put yourself in their place.

I'm sitting here mortified, just waiting for that awful moment when we hear, "and breaking news, a bomb has just gone off in New York City"
Praying we never do.

[freeVICK]

SALOONED? are u fcking kidding me????

[Louisvillekid1]

Salooned cuz they don't want idiots making jokes on their front page about this.

[Deuce]

Nothing about being armed. They are there to secure the area. Patrols are usually done and places inspected. Maybe we were caught slipping.

[Russian Rocket]

SBR why would you saloon this? SBR_Forum I take your closed ones don't do any running ehh?

[tto827]

Bomb squads have been sweeping the areas for days. Can't really do anything about a guy walking around with some dynamite in his backpack at an open, public event.

You have that feeling too? I mean if this is a planned attack that be a good way to go about it and if you plan something of this magnitude its almost seems to easy to fail (meaning I'm sure whoever this was wanted to take more lives)

yup, now its made the ranks of the "does brittany griner have a penis" thread....

Cops guarding a suspect near explosion in the hospital now.

[freeVICK]

[tto827]

Unreal Smokey.

SBR pretty tone def

no money to be made with this thread I guess

The great thing about being a mod is the ability to make idiotic decisions anonymously.

Ya. But then again clearly whoever planned this isn't 100% capable of using rational thought. You would think you could take out hundreds with ease if you really wanted too. We should all be glad that wise-guys aren't trying this stuff.

You give them too much credit

someone needs to be fired

[Kermit]

They said multiple deaths where each bomb went off.

[tto827]

Yes. And that JFK library was also part of the Boston Marathon attacks. So still ongoing investigation.

All from the police chief.
