Wow. Just wow. Politics aside, this is fucked up.
Am I the only one who won't ever watch these videos?
I'm right there with you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJivXSErhB8
They are going to come in and try to use our emotional reaction to this event as an excuse to take away more of our freedoms. Of this I am certain...
...and we are not going to show you the basketball players broken leg...its the right thing to do....but we will run these bomb videoas a mllion fucking times...cause its the right thing to do...we need to make sure you are terrified...than we will save you..
Surely they can save us, did you guys notice the amount of COPS immediately after it happened? SInce when are cops that good at their job???
That was real.
Notice the National Guard (?) at the scene?
In 5 seconds flat... [National Guard]?
~~~
None of these other rubberneckers seems to have let that sink in... Fucking cameraguy runs right past the elderly man sprawled out on the pavement & continues to film the explosion scene...
From the AP: "As sirens blared, emergency workers and National Guardsmen assigned to the race for crowd control began climbing over and tearing down temporary fences to get to the blast site." I don't know where you live but I often see the National Guard working crowd control and security at major public events.
Interesting LACK of response from the market. No humans left and algos are programmed to ignore terrorist acts?
I wonder how many people even realize that the violence from this event affects them in NO WAY WHATSOEVER, yet they will be affected when it's used as propaganda to distract from the oligarchs constant thieving from the lower and (what's left) of the middle classes.
Same M.O. as Seattle a coupla years bacK: FBI stung Muslim kid, he placed bomb (provided by FBI) in back pack and left it on a parade route. FBI then grabbed bomb, arrested kid, and voila...another victory in the WOT. This time - it's budget time in DC - they let the bombs go off. Must now increase alphabet Gestapos' money, personnel, weaponry, etc. See also: 1994 WT bombing, another FBI sting that was allowed to go ahead or - as some local agents suggested - spun out of control.
And without the "fucking cameraguy" we wouldn't have seen that.
OMG check that tight shot of the banner; 26 victims! 26 miles! Freaky!
Look at all the shattered glass in the background! And the Blood! Blood every where!!!
Ok well maybe not.
Seriously??? It's the effing Boston Marathon, one of the premier sporting events in the country, if not the world. Of course there are a lot of cops there. Geez guys. What the hell???
Don't take offense to it but how many cops are needed in such a small area(the immediate one where it happened) for a marathon? The actual incident is disgusting and cowardly and I am not saying it's a government plot but maybe they expected something and said nothing...just saying
http://www.local15tv.com/news/local/story/UM-Coach-Bomb-Sniffing-Dogs-Were-at-Start-Finish/BrirjAzFPUKKN8z6eSDJEA.cspx?rss=217
this just proves we need moar TSA agents so they can frisk us when we leave our homes... in fact just put two in every home
Yeah, I find this a bit ODD...
http://mobile.firehouse.com/press_release/10919925/boston-to-deploy-mass-casualty-tablet-device-during-marathon
freaky...where/how did you find that?
oh...never mind. Just more of the same.
There's right, and then there's right.
Does anybody remember the Monday Night Fottball game circa 1985 when Joe Theisman of the Washington Redskins suffered a compound fracture of his ankle? It ended his career. It must have been run continuously for the next week. Hey!!!! Don't watch this if you have a squemish stomach. We will just run it again and warn you again. Translated...this is really good gore and you will love to watch it and our ratings will go way up.
I am sad to say that I wached the video just this once and with spiritual strength, not watch it again.
The news media was never happier than when 9/11 happened. 24/7 for a week of planes hitting buildings. Pathetic.
No doubt of that.
Real terrorist? Failed FBI "sting" operation? Homegrown lunatic? "False flag" event?
"Never let a crisis go to waste"? Who was it again that said that, and what position did he hold at the time?
Damn I hate being paranoid. I hate worse being paranoid WITH JUSTIFICATION.
rahm "the king" emmanuel......and he's the mayor of my city now! such a douchebag.
Considering how many times the FBI have set up people to carry out terrorist incidents simply to nab them at the end, and then announce they "caught a terrorist", it's quite possible this was FBI, again, who were ordered to allow an actual incident to take place.
After all, the previous setups might have simply been practice for them.
There's really no way to know. It's a little odd that they have cameras everywhere, police everywhere, and they didn't notice a guy walking around and placing something into a bunch of trashbins, isn't it? But mistakes do happen, even real ones.
"Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean that people really aren't out to get you."
George Carlin ?
Hi Chancets - HL Mencken
Doubtful...this may backfire on arguments to prevent drilling for oil at home, and arguments against liberal immigration policies. This could have HUGE political ramifications.
The police state will declare the need to grant it broad new powers. It will expand as sure as the sun will rise, yet it will never prevent such tragedies from occurring.
OK... Quick thoughts... [I'm working fast here so give me some room for error]

On PREVIOUS THREAD
- First foto shows moment of explosion... [Why no flags on the left side of the street, the runners are running AWAY from camera]
- First photo [also, thehttp://www.zerohedge.com/comment/reply/472894/3452863 explosions appear to have happened near a traffic light intersection /UNCONFIRMED IN 2ND PHOTO]
- Second photo [displays falgs, & apparently blood guts & gore... Israel & Us flags are about 6 poles apart]
- Third photo... [Where are the flag poles if this was the bomb explosion site ~ though the 'intersection' part may be confirmed]
- Fourth photo... [All pickett fencing removed, as well as ALL blue barrier stuff]... [cardboard boxes at lightpost & tree]... [bench within iron railing no longer leaning, but down]?... I could easily think of other stuff
- Fifth foto... [Now blue barriers are back up, man is down, I Israeli flag is waving proudly in the background]...
~~~
Hell ~ WTF do I know?
Check the video, they move the barricade the flags are attached too.
@fuu
~~~
Some of what I look at might be right, some may be wrong...
It's just that I'm programmed to look for discrepancies now... At the moment ~ I'm looking at the 'cherry picker' location... Fucke me... It's 'on the fly' forensics on a blog...
Sue me...
~~~
Edit: OK ~ so now I'm thinking that those ABOVE fotos were taken FROM the cherry picker [how convenient]
- On the lamppost, why are the street signs positioned differently?... Moreover... Fine, they removed the barriers... But there are two flags hanging on the FIXED lamppost... [one looks like a Russian flag]... They must have needed to remove those as well... The crimescene is a fucking forensic mess...
- In photo 2, there is a light brown piece of furniture leaning against the iron rail, apparently AFTER the blast, but before the blue barricades with the flags were removed... How come the lunch tables look perfectly in tact in photo 3... Not to mention the mailbox in the middle of the photo which is nowhere to be seen?...
- Furthermore ~ the most evident bloodstain, in photo 2, projects directly in front of the leaning piece of furniture, which is in front of & left, in foto, of the tile extension... In foto 4 it's WITHIN...
- Photo 5... How long did it take for that poor guy who fell to get up off the ground to have 3 cops standing over him & an Israeli flag waving in the back?... Eh ~ fuck that... Why are the shadows of the 3 cops standing over him pointing in different directions in the Boston sun?... What time was this race run?... & why, in Photo 1, from behind, were there no shadows being cast anywhere at the moment of the explosion [which some clever person with an iPhone happened to snap in the miraculous instant of the fireball]...
- Looks like only 2 glass windows were blown out in the video...
- On a TV interview, I heard an eyewitness say that he heard 2 explosions... About 4 seconds apart...
CLINCHER???
Cameraman
'OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD"... AFTER he tramples over the fallen runner... Fucking blow me...
You can hear the second explosion in the video above. First one is at :07 the second at 0:19.
Dude on TV said it was 4...
I don't watch tv.
Well ~ That's what they reported
~~~
So ~ I'll come back with this:
The NATIONAL GUARD appeared to arrive in 5 seconds flat... Why then ~ in Photo 2... Does there appear to be a guy in a National Guard outfit running towards the bomb scene with the BACKGROUND STANDS apparently cleared?...
I guess they vacated the grandstand in 5 seconds flat...
Moreover ~ those BARRICADES, that appear to be being pulled AWAY [towards the street], at around 2:30 - 2:40... In the photo [of the other thread], appear to be MATTED DOWN TOWARDS THE BOMB BLAST [with a cop standing on top of one, no less]...
I'm just a curious dude... What the hey?... Call me 'Columbo'...
I'm just an antisemitic asshole... I'm the fly in the ointment Hans... The 'monkey in the wrench'...
Yippe Kay Ay MF
~~~
Fuckit ~ On closer look, there's actually 7 cops over the runner who fell down [one, whose shadow is pointed at 6'oclock, while the other shadows are at 4 o'clock... Quick responders I guess... Boston's Finest...
Furthermore: So I'm gonna guess that anyone who finished the Boston Marathon in 4:09:45 [& beyond], will NOT receive credit for completion because, no doubt, the streets would have been barricaded off...

Yes, get the conspiracy theories started. False flags. Coming for your guns. Blah blah blah.
ZH has become the armpit of humanity. You guys are really the lowest common denominator tinfoil hat crowd. Have a look in the mirror.
Tyler must have to take an hour long shower every night to get the stink of catering to you nutbars out of his skin. But the ad revenue makes it all worthwhile.
Fuck you, chet. Every time something like this happens, the Police State expands and tightens it's iron grip around our windpipes. They quit trying to hide it about 12 years ago.
If you think about it, it doesn't even have to be a conspiracy. Just a bunch of scared sheep who want someone to protect them at all costs.
CHet, you are my asshole's doppleganger.
With the amount of smoke I would say it was made with black powder and a home made IED , the FBI are going to hate this , they hate compertion. This is not really the cocaine inport companys (CIA) bag, so you could be left with a NK rocket or Iranian sleeper cell .
The "cocaine import company's (CIA) bag" is whatever fits the script the MSM has been briefed to peddle.
they are strongly implying without saying, looking at you police chief, u too brian williams.....it was an attack....and it was an attack , an attack from the most hateful, despicable ruthless, coldhearted terroist on the planet.....
Mossad, Israel...
Palestine, Hammas or anyone who reads the worlds greatest terrorist training manual the Koran
Really? You got well indoctrinated, I see... Btw, the whole concept behind the Code of Chivalry/Geneva Convention/Rules of Engagement actually comes straight out of the Coran - the west only got acquainted with such ancient Muslim, but now so "western" and "modern", notions of honor and fair treatment, through the "Saracen" who practiced them, during the crusades, so put that on your pipe and smoke it, braindead.
Is that what one of 20,000 drone attacks look like?
No. I can't watch these sorts of tragedies either. I have never watched one of the beheading videos, though practically everyone I know did...
Somehow, someway, this is all on the shoulders of Wall Street; and if there is ever a beheading video of Lloyd Blankfein or Jamie Dimon. Iwill make an exception, watch with blood lust, stand and applaud, and send donations for legal defense to the heros that do it.
Blankfein or Dimon...I'd be there with you. I'd settle for a simple hanging.
They keep pushing wide open borders and amnesty. They want more crap like this to take away even more freedoms. F DC, FTV and F Hollywood.
Now that's a cameraman with some balls.
Now there's a cameraman with some INTENTION [there ~ fixed it]... SOB practically tramples over the collapsed elderly runner...
Way way fucked up. Bloody Iranians.
I wonder if the Mossad might have sent someone over to document this incident as well...
North Korea is the only country with that kind of technology. Human limbs severed. Window glass untouched.
Los Alamos got nothing on those guys!!!
Clear video. Judging by the flame color and the amount of smoke it appears to be a gunpowder device of some kind. Definitely not high explosive. I am sure the authorities will figure it out and then someone is in a heap O trouble.
They'll find the cuplrit for sure, a Muslim terra-rist or worse, a white guy aka "racis" that might own guns.
Wake up motherfuckers.
What are the odds another Jew with a camera was right there?, "o my god, o my god....."
Abraham Zapruder? Have camera, will travel.
Gunpowder and fuel. The burn is too clean, and the initial explosion (out) is immediately followed by an 'in' indicating a high fuel concentrations dispersed into the air, creating the fireball that sucks up, burns out, and is gone, leaving the white smoke (gun powder). Not military grade stuff, but it had to be in a larg quantity, and directed (think claymore with one side having a metal plate to direct explosion forward- in this case, into the crowd, not the runners).
Notice the abscence of burn/scorch marks on anything, including the people? It's a very low flash point fuel, so that rules out a fertilizer based explosive, as well as the fact that a higher flash would have created a deeper sounding boom and more destruction, pluse scorch marks across the main area of the blast.
Someone had to plant a large device, well in advance. The device to set it off had to be placed after the first group of runners went through. Why? because the police force, and military personnel would be just in advance and just behind the runners, doing crowd scans, dog sniffs, and using a particular device that the Israeli's developed just for the purpose of 'pre' detonating explosives in case they aren't detected. (Dont' sue me Francis, but I had to do a stint in that region and work with the bastards, so I'm aware of a few peices of equipment). Whoever set this off had to attach the trigger after the first wave of runners, when everone is focused forward on the winners circle and any controversial race placing. The local police and everyone at that point will have had the 'adrenaline' shakes hitting, as they have now just 'missed' any big chances for just this event, so their perceptions of someone digging in a trash can will be lower, in fact if you look at the beginning of the video, the cops all seem like their walking a beat, not actively scanning. It's because the biggest worry has already passed. Perfect timing for the event we just saw.
Planned. with multiple points of attack, and totally missed? I highly doubt it. Too big a package to create what it did, with no burn marks, and completely crowd directed, not runner directed. If it was runner directed, the focus would have been on the runners, on the crowd, it's an 'against Merica' thing. Let's all band together and go kick their ass......
I don't know if anyone has posted this but I am linking this here so it doesn't get buried. Strange how every time there is an incident the "authorities" are having some sort of "drill". http://www.local15tv.com/mostpopular/story/UM-Coach-Bomb-Sniffing-Dogs-Were-at-Start-Finish/BrirjAzFPUKKN8z6eSDJEA.cspx
....and more reports. http://www.naturalnews.com/039926_Boston_marathon_bombing_terrorism.html
You gotta love the cunt in red who turns to look at the bomb blast then immediately turns around and looks at her watch to track her marathon pace.
You couldn't make this shit up.
fucking muslim terrorists
.
Metaphor for what's coming in the world's economy?
very weird indeed... gold drops 10% and a bomb attack on patriots day... :(
Kind of eerie that it happened where all those flags were.
Not as eerie as getting bombed while attending a funeral...
Or a wedding. The US 'accidentally' bombed a wedding party today in Afghanistan, killing 30 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-125820/US-bomb-kills-30-Afghan-w...
The Jews at the morgue and the squid are laughing their heads off.
@dolph9
The only ones laughing are those with zero human empathy, or the psychopathic. You're one twisted < race tag > using individual.
Yeah, keep on pretending that the Jew banksters give a shit.
Back to sleep for you, sheep.
FUCK OFF RACIST IDIOT. People are dying because another coward is killing. We have no idea who or what is responsible. it is wrong to blame a group at this time since you hate them.
Not any more racist than you, who apparently already know it all: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-04-15/stunning-video-boston-explosion...
Go fuck yourself.
There is nothing funny about any of this.

Thank you banzai!!!
Maybe with your standing here on ZH others will heed your words. In an earlier post I aired my disgust at the attempts of humor. The down votes were up 3 to 1. Unbelievable!!!
I knew someone who was totally vaporized in the Bali blast. He had a three month old baby.
I spend all my time trying to lighten somber news. There is nothing funny about this kind of event.
It's not funny when people are blown up. It's not funny that their loved ones have no idea where they are. And it's not funny that people are putting themselves at risk to help others.
Not trying to be funny but I think the (black) pigeons may be coming home to roost. Ron Paul may be exactly correct on what is coming to America. Sadly, the people here will be paying the price for the decades of bad policy, empire building, and use of force exacted by the fuckers in power; in banking, politics, etc. and I expect more of this to come. And not a decade from now.
Yep. Now that Saudi nationals have attacked us again, I wonder which country, other than Saudi Arabia, we'll invade this time?
I firmly believe that 9-11 brought us to where we are today and I shutter to think about where this is going to take us.
Correct, it was 9/11 that brought us to where we are today...
but, it was 9/11/1991, not 9/11/2001.
What happened on 9/11/1991?
@RR... New World Order...

Some say "We Will Always Remember" & think of one thing... Others... another...
9/11 history...
...'astronomers say that the Star of Bethlehem, signifying the birth of Jesus Christ, can be calculated to within a few hours of September 11, 3 B.C
Sept. 11, 1297 William Wallace leads over 15,000 Scottish soldiers to victory over the English Army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
Sept. 11, 1609 Henry Hudson sails into New York harbor and discovers Manhattan Island and the mouth of the river later named in his honor - the Hudson River
Sept. 11, 1777 The British defeat the Americans, led by George Washington, at the Battle of Brandywine Creek in the American War of Independence.
Sept. 11, 1999 The Jewish calendar is 6,000 years old. September 11, 1999 is regarded as the 6,000th anniversary of Adam's creation. September 11th is recognized by many faiths as the end of a major cycle.

"...9-11 brought us to where we are today..."
And it is what brought us to 9-11 that we need to deal with; and that is the three branches of fascist evil that sit in their golden cocoons, whilst they send the enslaved to foreign lands around the world to murder People in massive numbers--and all to allow a martini lunch over which the fascist murderers compare the number of zeros on their net worth...
I would like to be the first to apologize to the world, and promise that We, The People of the U.S., no different than our brothers and sisters around the world, will deal with our fascist fuck government before this is all over; i.e., there will be war crime tribunals; U.S. "government" officials will suffer the death penalty for crimes against humanity.
You're leaping to conclusions. Your remarks are totally unsupported speculations.
'You're leaping to conclusions. Your remarks are totally unsupported speculations.'
Fuck you...put up or shut up.
The only way to overthrow totalitarianism is with armed struggle.
instructive: that even after a major explosion, the runners kept running towards the finish line....
A daily occurance in Iraq,
We reap what we sow
50 dead in Iraq today apparently. But they hated freedom obviously.
Yup condolences indeed but some perspective http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/15/world/meast/iraq-violence/index.html
Fuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuu Saudi Arabia!
Quick, fly out the Saudi thugs while you can Hussein Obama! Get them to safety you fraud!
Broken windows? Bullish!
Any other day, that might be funny. But in this circumstance, I don't find any humor.
From the looks of the color of the blast smoke and the speed of the debris,a rather small crude device. Big enough with any type of shrapnel attached to really screw up anybody close to its day up real bad. Some poor smucks get the steel and the MSM haa somthing to run 24/7 for the next week, Now reporting 100 people hurt.
Damn all violence!
Look at all the time it took to tear down the barriers to get to the wounded.
Son of a bitch knew precisely what he was doing.
Notice that most of 'work' was being done by civilians and national guard. Hell, even a photog came over to help. Cops were mostly useless.
I imagine they were looking for and destroying the other bombs.
Yeah, those ones standing there watching the people work were looking for bombs.
They're already suggesting domestic terror.
Five will get you twenty, they pin this on a Tea Party member.
Is there a Tea Party in Saudi?
Black gold..... Texas Tea. Time to crash the party and invade. We must spread democracy to Saudi Arabia. . Oh and liberate them from their gold and oil.
Coffee Klatches with the Rosens down the street.
"Like Buttah"
Physical gold being liquidated and an attack gets blamed on a Saudi 2 hrs later. Is this rollover 1981 or am I off my rocker?
You're not off your rocker fonz... [read my previous comments... I'm doing this ON THE FLY, so I'm gonna have some hits & misses... But it's already starting to NOT ADD UP]...
Too late, they've already pinned it on a Saudi.
But strange how "domestic terror" always seems to target average citizens. I would think if Domestic Terrorists exist (And they do; they reside mostly around the D.C. area), they would be targeting government agencies and other Banking institutions (the people who are causing all the trouble).... But it's never that way.
This may end up being another false flage orchestrated by the same perps that keep doing this shit all over the world.
Idiot!!!
Where do you and the rest of the idiots come up with this shit?
You target soft targets - SOFt -get it.
We use drones and kill hundreds and terrorize thousands- they use trash cans and cheap ex.
Bully for them. Have small taste of what your murdering thug of a gvt dishes out.
Next up garbge trucks! Cry me a river.........
p.s. one doesn't target the paymaster .....at least while the cash keeps rolling in.
Larry Kudlow is throwing it out there.
Prepare to be demonized by the PTB.
The police had the spy tower right there !!!!
That "sky box" thing was covered in blue plastic; not sure they could get a good view from that, whatever it was.
Nevertheless, loads of video and pictures could be crowd-sourced from the day to piece together prior hours. The procedure should be something like: take a picture/video or video of a web-based, NIST-accurate clock for synchronization and then upload images from the prior 12 hours that were captured from that street block.
it's a sad day, all support who are involved
Leave it to a Z/H poster to tell/show the truth as it actually happened. No MSM b/s candy coating!
And on that note: http://t.co/xvPFF3AbmU

you're either a total idiot or lost a lot on your yen cross today (same thing btw)

I clicked on your links. (Both of them) You think it was a mistake by Boston P.D. or a well scripted " False flag" event. Have a nice day :-)
Antone know when/where the 2nd bomb went off?
Sounded to me like the second one went off about 30 seconds after the first. I thought I heard a second blast in the video.
A guy on TV... an 'EYEWITNESS'... says it happened '4' seconds after... He even repeated it... "It was like. BOOM..... BOOM'...
19 seconds into the video you hear it.
You can see the second explosion and smoke in the distance when the camerman pans, bottom left of the footage. You get a quick glimpse of it.
From the initial video by Boston CBS they counted off 15 seconds. It's supposed to be about 75-100 yards further back on the course.
Thanks. Those rescuers were brave. I thought the 2nd bomb might have been designed to take the rescuers out. Impressed by the instinctive response to want to get stuck in and help.
Sorry to see terrorism on the streets of USA.
Fuck you you sychophant Praetorian 'Johnny on the spot' troll... About which, there have already been about a half dozen on this thread come out of nowhere...

I wonder if that's what it sounds like when a drone blows up a funeral.
I'm sure we will be finding out first hand, and much sooner than anyone thinks.
Very good video coverage of the reaction of the asphalt to the explosion
yes noticing that as well
Cut the guy some slack, he's just some amateur dude, probably shitting in his pants wondering when the next blast would come.
So much for no one trying to help, ay guys?
Kudos to the responders!
For what, showing up to work? You get fired if you don't go to work.
ZH thank you for posting this. It is a public service and a credit to honest discourse. The true facts, unadulterated by corporate-owned media, be published to the world. Even if disturbing, the true facts should be made available to all.
Looks like low order ordinance judging from the smoke.
Wow yea that is the best video so far.................Kudos to the guy to keep video rolling instead of helping the injured so we can all gaze at unfettered gore
With all the multi layers of security at such an event, HOW the hell could some dick just plant a big bomb at the finish line of the Boston marathon? You couldn't even get a little backpack in there without it being checked 5 times.
