    A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

    I just read about this on facebook, so very sad. Hope no one my BF knows was there and was injured (or killed). I hope anyone on here that lives up there is ok too!! My prayers go out to the victims and their families. I hope they catch the bastards that did this!!!

      It is a tragedy. My brother works about 1.5 blocks from there. He is fine and at home now.

      It is a crazy situation.

          Very grave indeed. I got a feeling this is going to involve invading some other small middle eastern country...or North Korea.


          EDIT - There's a rumor on Twitter circulating that the bombing was right where Newtown Massacre Families were gathered, anyone else hear that?

            Either that or this will be used as a scapegoat to go to war giving it a reason to do so.

              Like 9/11. Its unfortunate that Americans get dragged in to this bullshit.
              I could go on and on, but Ill leave it at that. Hope anyone that has family or friends there is okay.

                I did hear that. Here come the tinfoil hats...


                I got a text from my friend saying that our friends Matt and Laura were ok. I had NO idea what she was talking about! Turns out Matt and Laura (who live minutes from Boston) were at the marathon, but near the starting line, not the finish line where the bombing occurred.
                Last I heard, 2 were dead, and I heard no count on the injured. I'm sure the numbers will go up...

                It's definitely awful. I wonder if this was done by any group with a message, or if it was just a malicious act done by some psychotic individual simply because they could...

                  you guys know I keep mine close by

                  I did hear about the situation on the radio though. most likely some crazy American nutso freaking cuz its the final tax day that's what I think anyway. if they wanted to kill more people they would've set off a bomb at the starting line where there's a ton of people all packed together.

                    Deerver raises a point; was it a act of organized group..from our country or another, or perhaps it was some loner who could?
                    The 2 dead sadly are the best way we can determine some of these questions. They most likely were the closest to the source and might have clues to the device used. Was it a gas leak from one of the buildings? Was it indeed a bomb? Just where were they when it exploded? Were the inside a store...near a storm drain with the device inside? Just what exploded? Too quick to "blame" this on a somebody or something till they answer all the questions. A war over this? Who is dumb enough to think this? 911 was major and we learned they danced in the streets overseas at our multitude of Americans dead. The Boston Marathon is a great event, yet it has runners from all over the world. As a terrorist is concerned, I don't think the race disruption would score a statement for them of world importance. Maybe just the fact that they can might be enough. If so...it's all due to hate..they hate with every breath they take.

                      Unless there were specific targets, I feel it was probably just some twisted amateur. Any terrorist group would likely have every intention of doing as much damage as possible, and enough experience to plan it to be far more effective.

                        Been watching this on the news all afternoon. Sad to hear that one of the victims was an 8 year old boy.

                          It was reported on NPR that the FBI and Homeland Security were investigating the likelihood of domestic terrorism.
