    Prayers? (as if everyone with a moral compass does this)
    God?
    Death penalty?

    What is wrong YOU guys? This isn't the time for this selfishness.

    This is really sad news indeed. The coverage on the news is pretty horrific. People just out enjoying themselves and their lives ruined....I hope that it was not a terror attack but just some very unlucky accident, I know that might sound terrible but there is a big differance in both the situations......

    Holy *kitten*, I didn't know there were casualties, but I bet the numbers keep rising. My niece's boyfriend (long distance runner for college track team) is there and she can't get a hold of him. How horrible, who would do something like this?!?

    I pray that she gets a hold of him and that he's safe. Hopefully it's just a lack of cell service due to all the chaos right now. Praying for your family.

    In Boston they are saying no casualties yet. I just came in from watching at mile 23 when it happened. Can't get a hold of anyone all phone circuits jammed up.

    The Boston Globe twitter feed says it was a controlled detonation of a third device.

    My news channel is saying the third one was most likely set off on purpose/controlled by the bomb squad.

    How terrible... I can't imagine putting in all that time training, etc to have something like this happen at the end.

    Please say a prayer for the people that are injured that they have a speedy recovery and also pray for the families of the people that were killed. We do not know when it is our last day, so it is important to tell our loved ones that you love them.

    Sending my condolences to the families of those killed today and my thoughts go out to anybody affected. Such a tragic state of affairs on a day that should have been a celebration x

    it is so sad! I was able to get in touch with one of my sisters that's there but she's been separated from her family and can't get in touch with them. I of course try to read what little I can online since I'm at work and there's people making freaking evil comments!

    They are suggesting trying to text the people you are attempting to locate since it uses less bandwidth

    They shut down the cell service in the Boston area. Frustrating, but they were afraid the devices may have been controlled remotely, so they had to kill off the cell towers for awhile.

    No major news agency on-line is saying there are casualties...

    Still, very tragic indeed. Praying for all affected.

    Edit: just read that there are officially 2 dead. Heartbroken... :cry:
