Hmmm....
It is unsettling to see how quickly that can be done to American citizens in the name of “our safety”
So no one can pass on good news I’m ok, or bad news XXX was involved and is hurt, or worse didn’t make it.
Thats really bad.
Plus, how do they know so quickly it was a cellphone detonation ?
Not thinking having only a cell phone for communication is such a good idea. Amazing how fast in the evolution total gov’t control kicked in.
They don’t is what I’m guessing. Probably some self-described elected ‘expert’ .....
False report. Just heard an interview live from the site and the person was specifically asked if his report was coming from his cell phone and he answered in the affirmative .
My sister just sent me a message from her iPhone. she’s in Harvard Square.
One more reason why I need to get off the dime and buy a HAM radio.
I have threatened to do it for years.... this must be the year.
Meanwhile: the dow has dropped 265.86 points today... ouch, that hurts... big!!
I suspect these people thought they were working with ‘fat baby face’ the leader of North Korea...
Listening to scanner feeds, it appears first responders are using cellphones. I read somewhere VZW and TMobile said calls many be impossible to make due to traffic, however no mention of a network shutdown.
If the terrorist had been a right winger the whole republican party would have been in on the bombings... a cast of thousands. But since it's a Saudi National - he must have been working alone - maybe pressure caused by workplace violence ... so it would have to have been done by cell phones... my guess...
Oh how sweet! They’re having a moment of silence in DC because of the bombings. Instead of silence, how about admitting there’s a war on terror and quit the PC bullcr@p.
From what I’ve read, Mideastern terrorists have been using cell phones to detonate explosive devices for awhile now...
If Homeland Security hadn't been so busy with chasing guns and Christians, perhaps they could have prevented this.
Anyone have the family number to call? Just found out we have a family friend who was running and can’t get in touch with him on his cell. Thanks!
Well, according to Eric Holder, we don’t yet know whether this was domestic or international terrorism. After all, Shepherd Smith says that there was a Penske truck involved. Shep probably thinks that Penske trucks have something to do with car racing.
She was probably able to make the call via a WiFi hotspot.
