The many statements of solidarity we have received from fans and guests alike have been very encouraging. We will be donating a portion of the art auction proceeds to the Red Cross for the Boston Marathon victims relief effort. In light of the heightened security in the city we ask cosplayers to not bring prop weapons this weekend.""

I guess the bomb might have been at the scorched spot? Anything in that spot on Google maps?

I'm wondering if they just left a backpack sitting on the ground

"Boy killed in Boston blast wrote: 'No more hurting people' (CNN) -- Almost a year ago, 8-year-old Martin Richard wrote four simple words on a sign at school. "No more hurting people," it said. For the camera, he held up the bright blue sign decorated with hearts framing the word, "Peace." It's a photograph that many find difficult to look at Tuesday as they struggle to comprehend the violence that took Martin's life. On Monday, he was watching the Boston Marathon, excited to see his dad cross the finish, CNN affiliate WHDH said. Two bombs exploded just off Copley Square in the heart of the city. The grade-schooler was killed, authorities said. Martin's mother, Denise, and his sister were grievously injured, The Boston Globe reported. Photos: Deadly attack at Boston Marathon Photos: Deadly attack at Boston Marathon Denise Richard underwent surgery for an injury to her brain and Martin's 6-year-old sister lost her leg, WHDH says. Both are recovering in a hospital, according to the TV station. The boy's father, Bill Richard, is a community leader in the Ashmont section of Dorchester, according to the paper. At a loss: Comforting grieving parents Early Tuesday, people arrived at the Richards' home in the working-class neighborhood dotted with large New England-style homes. On the stone steps of the Richards' blue-gray house, visitors gingerly laid down flowers. Someone had written "peace" at the end of the driveway, according to the Globe. A 10-year-old girl who went to school with Martin came by with her mother. "We came here to pay our respects," the mother told CNN. "My daughter was very sad. He was a very nice boy." Martin attended the Neighborhood House Charter School, according to a school official. Martin made his "peace" sign last May when his school organized a "Peace Walk." Holding their homemade signs up, kids walked around the city making a big statement with a simple act. In bubble letters, one of his classmates wrote: "No more violence!" In another photo of Martin -- this one apparently marking what was perhaps his first Communion -- he is smiling, missing a few teeth, handsome and proud in his white suit. He holds a colorful Communion banner. On it is a dove that symbolizes the Holy Spirit. The Richard family was apparently very active in the neighborhood. "They are beloved by this community," City Councilor at Large Ayanna Pressley told the Globe. Pressley and other devastated residents gathered at Tavolo Restaurant in Dorchester to mourn. The family contributes "in many ways," she said. "That's why you see this outpouring. It's surreal, it's tragic." A neighbor of the Richard family, Dan Aguilar, told the Globe that they are close-knit. No matter the weather, the newspaper reported, Martin Richard and his brother played soccer, hockey or baseball in the backyard. "They are just your average little boys,'' Aguilar said. "They are a good family. They are always together.'' Aguilar is having a hard time wrapping his mind around the boy's death. "That little boy will never come home again,'' he told the paper. "It's still unreal. I have no words. I have no words.'' While so much grieving continues, more details are emerging about Monday's bombings. No suspects have been identified in the case, which federal authorities are classifying as an act of terrorism. It was not immediately known whether the origin of the bombings was domestic or foreign. The intelligence community is poring through all threat reporting for any clues, U.S. counterterrorism officials told CNN. That includes any claims made on jihadist websites. Nothing is being dismissed this early on, the officials said."

Now here it comes, American news will now quickly make that little boy the face of this attack.

Ya know, if you're going to show a guy pinching an artery closed with a paramedic possibly doing the same thing (or at least sticking his hand into what used to be a leg)... you might as well just show it all. Put a "graphic" warning in the caption if you must. But the censorship and editing is completely stupid, especially when you're showing one of the more shocking aspects of the photo.

"BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – Sources told FOX 25 there was an American Airlines flight that was headed to Chicago. There were two men on that plane – not sitting next to each other – and speaking Arabic. There were some concerned marathoners on the flight so the plane was brought back to the gate and the two men were escorted off the plane."

black duffle bag placed on the ground is what a #source has said to some of the media outlets.

"A law enforcement source told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton that one of the explosive devices appears to have been placed in a metal pressure cooker (a metal kitchen pot with a locked down top) which had been placed in a black nylon bag or backpack. Investigators also found pieces of an electronic circuit board possibly indicating a timer was used in the detonation of the bomb. A law enforcement official told CBS News that the two bombs that exploded were made to look like discarded property. It is still unknown if one or both bombs were in garbage cans. One may have been on the sidewalk."

Welp, time to start IDing people who want pressure cookers.

4/16/2013 1:41:12 PM

Right, because the primary purpose of a pressure cooker is for it to be used as a weapon.

Quote :

"Second Boston Marathon victim identified: Krystle Campbell A second victim in the Boston Marathon bombings has been identified: Krystle M. Campbell, a 29-year-old originally from Medford, Mass. Her father, William A. Campbell Jr., told Yahoo News he's in shock that his daughter was killed. "My daughter was the most lovable girl. She helped everybody, and I'm just so shocked right now. We're just devastated," he said. "She was a wonderful, wonderful girl. Always willing to lend a hand." Campbell was at the finish line with a friend, Karen Rand, to cheer on her boyfriend, who was running the race. William Campbell said he doesn't know if Krystle's boyfriend finished the race before the bombs went off. Karen Rand survived, but was in surgery for her serious injuries through Monday night. Cheryl Rand Engelhardt, Karen Rand's sister-in-law, wrote on Facebook that Krystle's parents at first believed that Karen was their daughter, and that she had survived the attack, because Karen was carrying Krystle's ID. Krystle's family was finally ushered into Karen's hospital room after one of her leg surgeries by hospital staff, only to discover their daughter's friend instead of Krystle. Krystle was then declared missing, and the family found out on Tuesday she was among the dead. More than 170 people were wounded—17 of them critically—and three were killed in the attacks, which occurred at 2:50 p.m. Monday near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Campbell attended the University of Massachusetts-Boston and Medford High School. The other identified victim, 8-year-old Martin Richard, was running from the first explosion with his family when the second blast killed him. His mother and 6-year-old sister were injured in the bombing as well."

4/16/2013 3:38:44 PM

pretty sure he lost both lower legs when the bomb went off. I mean, I'm sure he had more leg removed, but that article makes it sound like he still had legs when he got to the hospital.

4/16/2013 3:43:41 PM

i mean he was there to see his girlfriend though, it says it at the end. you know how you sometimes wonder if the person you are with would stay with you if you severely lost limbs? hes living that question

^^^^to me, looks like a cloth blowing in the wind, to me.

you can see it moving as the guy walks past and just before then you see the flag waving in the wind, blowing in the same direction that the objected later moved towards. well, not in the footage that guy showed - his TV settings are off and he's cut off part of the picture. look at other sources of the same video.
