With as much blood as was shown on the street, I would be shocked if the death toll didn't climb a lot in the near term. God I hope I am wrong.

The negative part of the internet at times like this. So many people just throw info out there without confirming anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Twitter people claiming that another bomb went off at the JFK library. Edit: Now people claiming it was a fire and unrelated. ReEdit: Ok, now they're saying it's an incendiary device that might have been related.

That's going to be true for professional media outlets too; just the nature of stories like this. edit: there's going to be fluctuating injury/fatality counts, reports of multiple bombers, reports of other bombs going off, etc. as information comes in and gets reported. I'm going to be taking anything beyond "bombs went off, many injured and some killed" with a grain of salt for now.

cabiness42 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm looking at the Google Street View of the finish line and there are a pair of mailboxes on the north side of Boylston Street about 50-100 feet beyond the finish line that coincides with the spot where the various videos I've seen show smoke and people receiving attention.

Anything and everything is getting called in. 99.9% will be nothing. People will be calling the police for a UPS box they weren't expecting right now. Plus, a lot of people in the crowd probably had bags and dropped them after the first blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
