Hope our friends are okay in Boston after what appears to be several explosions.

Thinking of you Diana....let us know that you are okay please.

Once again, innocent bystanders killed and injured by nuts!

We are hearing 3 have been killed and over 100 injured!

I think it's time the perpetrators of such acts throughout the world were lined up and shot. No second chance, if proven you're dead! At least they would know where they stand (literally) if they wish to carry out such cowardly acts. I suspect it would make at least a few think twice. Other than that, they will spend the rest of their evil life in a prison cell with all the luxury that is normally afforded them.

Ron,

As far as I know, unless she went to Boston to watch the marathon, Diana lives about 40-minutes north of Boston. I live about the same distance to the northwest.

I never go into Boston on marathon day; too crowded, I hope they find the cowardly rats who did this and stick bombs up their jacksies.

It seems there are more good people than bad,, i read there are hundreds of people offering food,shelter,bed's,taxi rides and so much to help out anyone they can.

These pathetic people will be found,,,( i think our Mr. Brind has it all "sorted" and know's exactly what to do.schoulder to schoulder!!)

The good people of this planet far out weigh those who hurt....

Some of the footage from the scene were terribly gruesome.  They used not to show too much blood and human damage. Yet yesterday and today they showed, without fuzzing out, a man who had both his legs blown off below the knees. It was shocking! He was in total shock, his knees just a jagged bloody mess of bones, muscles and flesh.

I think we have entered a new form of news reporting. Not for the faint of heart.

Too much trouble in the world. I have to take myself to my special place quite often, until I get back to England and go there for real.

My sister was there. She rode her bike to the marathon,on her way to the finish line where her friends office is located. She was distracted by a few runners, stopped to talk to them then that's when the bombs went off.

If she had not stopped, she would have been right there at the site.

Sobering. This is all hitting too close to home now. Frown

She's ok, still quite shaken but we know her guardian angel was right there with her at that moment.

Hi Krissy, it is so great to see you!  I am happy to hear your sister's guardian angel was protecting her at this dreadful time.

Now you have had that dreadful explosion in Texas.  Hope everyone in US POEland is safe and not affected by these awful disasters!
