Explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon

This whole week of bombing/manhunt/shootout/manhunt is FUGGING CRAZY. Together with all the news and social media coverage, it's all quite unprecedented and something that will be studied and talked about forever.

The advent of social media, particularly twitter, has made events like this even crazier... with random people being able to break news on their own, post pictures and videos in real time, it's nuts.

I remember in 2001 the internet essentially locked up on 9/11. I was in my office and we had to listen to the radio to get info... no news sites would load and everything was just blank, and we had a T1 line there and back then that was something.

Honestly - these two guys could be just socially awkward losers who could never fit in or could never get a girl. It wouldn't be the first time some pathetic losers did something like this because they were tired of getting picked on and rejected by girls.

Saying 3rd person is being arrested right now... not much info on it, but he's wearing a red hat, a backpack, and has his hands on his head... state police have him... Saying it definitely isn't the second suspect though, and don't know if it is even related... on CNN just now...

Yeah, I get the impression from everything I've read (and this is complete speculation on my part) that these two took the Jihad elements of their muslim faith and went out to try to make a name for themselves doing this...

They seemed calm and collected while planting the bombs, but the FBI releasing their pictures probably spooked them into trying to run.

People need to turn off their electronics and reconnect with THEIR lives.
