I have a friend that apparently works at that intersection. Just talked to him and he said they were told to work from home if they wanted today due to race congestion. Doesn't seem like people inside buildings were affected, but thats some run good.

I've worked down at copley during the marathon before. It's a madhouse. If it's really less than 5 fatalities it'll be pretty remarkable.

I just went on Twitter, some guy tweeted it, no one else mentioned it for four minutes, and then someone else retweeted it and it took off from there. Guessing the original guy was trolling since no one else said anything when it supposedly happened. Still pulling for Andy tho

Dude please don't start this **** right now. I'm still trying to get in touch with friends in Boston and typed off the top of my head. You know what I meant.

Obviously understand, that's what the disclaimer was intended to be for. My apologies if it was insufficient or if the overall implication was unclear.

"i'm very sorry that people were killed but..."

there is absolutely no way you can finish that sentence that would justify that preface

CNN just straight up terrorist fear mongering with no info whatsoever besides the fact there were 2 explosions.

Hopefully some of the amputees get to run this again and kick those responsible square in the god damn balls at the finish line. Stuff like this is starting to depress me more and more as I get older.
