don't know the truth in this, but I have heard that it was basically like an old artillery shell. Full of pellets, meant to rip apart people. Judging from the wounds, I would assume that the top was covered in some way. I feel horrible for everyone that had their goals in life taken away for the heck of it. Gun and explosive laws america. Come on. Saw this coming.
Glad to hear you guys are okay, Strat.
Yep my heart goes out to you Strat. I know you don't have any physical injuries, but you may have some troubles as everything starts to sink in. Remember we're here for you if you need to talk or let off steam.This and more of this.
This is sad and pathetic. Unfortunately, though, I think this is exactly what a lot of America is being raised to think, lately. With the previous attacks, war, politics, parents, and people like this.;_; Erik Rush

A runner has uploaded a video of the first explosion. It is very disturbing, so please watch at your own discretion. This video really gives you a feel of how terrifying the blast really was, Truly awful.
True, and thank you for sharing that
I get where you are coming from, and it's not heartless, I get it. But I think what shocks and horrifies people the most is that they don't expect a bombing at such a happy event, especially in a (for the most part) stable country. The end of a marathon is supposed to be a happy time where people celebrate their personal goals, and congratulate each other, but out of the blue, there was a bomb. A lot of people got hurt, even some killed, including an 8 year-old boy (which has a lot of emotional impact). I think it has just come to the point where people expect the middle eastern countries to be bombed, it's not as surprising, it's not as tragic to us as it doesn't really concern us much. (I'm not saying that we shouldn't care about the bombings in the Middle east, I'm just speaking what I think about the situation)I'm not trying to be heartless at all here, I promise.. As tragically terrible as this is people fail to realize that shit like this happens a hell of a lot. There has been thousands of bombings in the middle east since 2001-02(ish).. But you never hear about that, but something like this happens in America and everyone hears about, and everyone with their faith held strong are praying like crazy. I think it's time humans act a little less like animals and more like intelligent human beings.
I apoligize if any one thought that may have been at all heartless.. I know for a fact of 900 students and faculty that will be praying for all of these individuals every morning at my school, all together.
You're totally right.. Maybe everyone will start realizing we are never safe.I get where you are coming from, and it's not heartless, I get it.

Indeed, news headlines this morning for me wereI'm not trying to be heartless at all here, I promise..
