You never know what happened. It could be accidental; if that is possible with this case. Our with different people or groups. I wonder what will develop later on today.

Well it was not a gas line according to FOX news, they are implying someone targeted us but do not jump to any conclusions yet. Keep in mind they were celebrating patriot's day.

Thats it...must have missed it in all the data coming in. No doubt two explosions.

This was an attack.

I just know it was. I would love to be wrong this time, but I doubt that I am.

As others have mentioned, domestic terrorism is my guess.

Sheperd Smith on Fox os now narrating that he first had hoped it was a gas leak, but is now flirting, pushing, the idea, that this was a terrorist attack/bombing.

There were two different explosion sites. Not on ground level.

if you look at the video i linked to above you can see 2 seperate explosions coming from 2 different locations along the same road

The live feed from cbs I am listening too said it was similar to the attacks in the middle east, where two blast are spaced apart and are designed to hit the people coming in to help.

Also unconfirmed from twitter, somebody is posting that Newtown Families were in the VIP sections right next to it.

Fox Philly just has a reporter on there saying she thinks it came from inside the buildings.

at least 3 people dead? On CNN Wolf Blitzer is droning on...

Another video of the explosion shows a runner taking what appears to be some shrapnel.

Whew just heard from my brother in Boston, he is ok.

The explosions were above ground. You can see it from the video. The shockwave spread out like grenades.

IED...

Or Suicide Bombers...
New York is deploying counter terrorists teams... Now. No news from us here in D.C.

I can imagine the U.S blaming this on "North Korean terrorists" or something any moment now.

All of our acquaintances accounted for.

Land and cell phone lines all wonky due to over use.

Now I also remember the missing dirty bombs that were discussed a few months ago. Wonder if there is radiation scanners in the area. Especially with NK beating their chest.

How did this happen, I thought bombs were illegal?

I hope everyone makes it out alive, and I can't wait to read some exciting threads on ATS in the coming days.

The mile where this explosion happened was dedicated to the Newtown victims
