Just one "very graphic" image there, and you have to click on the warning to see it. The patient will likely lose both legs either one just below and one above the knee, or both above the knee. Not much left to work with from mid calf down.

May Our Almighty Father bless all the victims with as full recovery as possible within this mortal coil, and may He send His angels to guide and protect victims, physicians, family, and friends alike.

I ask this in the Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.

Well it was going to happen sooner or later, the last two Islamic terrorist attacks failed only because the terrorist goofed up.

The Obama administration clearly did not learn from its mistake and is too busy chasing down political enemies to label as potential terrorist to pay attention to the very real Islamic kind.

Whoever made that bomb knew EXACTLY how to inflict maximum damage to the human body. This was NOT a lone nut amateur!

I'm no expert, but it looks like the bombs were designed to inflict near-ground level injuries, which ensures children and adults will be injured--as well as injuries to the lower extremities of runners, which is more insidious when you think about it.

The victim whose legs were shattered may have been standing fairly close to the blast.

I would have liked to know if finger prints could have been lifted from it. Likely not, however.

Sometimes the construction and materials used in the detonator can provide insight as to who is behind the bombing, as can the explosives used. TATP is a jihadi favorite (AKA: "Mother of Satan"), but it tends to degrade over time, and older stock might not go off at all.

What evidence? Did you get any evidence of what really happened in Bengazi? This has Muslim radical terrorist mantra written all over it. Two bombs explode, up to three more are found and exploded by police and authorities. This is exactly the same as blaming guns for Sandy Hook, Aurora, etc. when the real culprit was mentally unbalanced lunatics.

Obama is too busy coddling up to the likes of Castro loving Beyonce & JayZ, playing golf with Tiger Woods, jive jamming in the WH, taking a vacation every other week, destroying the USA economy and country!!! Did you hear his remarks this evening. Called what happened in Boston, a tragedy!!! It was no tragedy, it was an open terrorist attack & slaughter of American innocents. Obama, once again, would not or could not use the word terrorist. He is truly Satan...as depicted in the miniseries, “the Bible”!!! America, wake up, Impeach Obama.

They need the dignitaries to react.

If they don't get pressure from the little people, they can't, and if the dignitaries get killed, that doesn't pull the same kind of press as grandmas and kids.

The aspect which makes it "terror" is that it could happen to anyone, anywhere, not just an 'official', otherwise, the ordinary folks have little to worry about except steering clear of pols looking for a photo op.

That just doesn't result in the same political effect, because the next law to come down the pike stripping the masses of their rights (while protecting the elite) won't be greeted as favorably by the people as a law the frightened populace clamors for.

Unstable, and degrades fairly quickly. If there were as many devices as we are reading about they may have made some with older batches and had misfires. I'll wait to see what they find out.

A few years back there was a chap who tried to get into a football game in Norman Oklahoma, but wouldn't let the folks search his backpack. He left the stadium proper and sat down on a park bench and blew up...(may have been detonated by a 'handler', too).

Yep, ROP ties.

Swear I just heard the Boston police mentioning ‘Elizabeth Warren’ on the scanner. Then it all went silent. Weird.

Somebody's having a little levity at her expense. Radio silence, alternative comms. Smoke signals.

I saved it to my HD. The media’ll make it disappear down a rabbit hole, it’s so gory. Pics are already beginning to disappear from the new service sites.

PATRIOTS Day, Tax Day, Heartbreak Hill, Marathon Race, North Korea’s 101st Birthday Celebration after bizarre threats, V for Vendetta and CNN OKC special on TV over the weekend, Warren Buffetts GEICO commercial with Paul REVERE opening drapes as he says the British are coming on a Cell Phone, DeVrie University commercial with people with Red Socks, recent bizarre articles on theweek.com and yahoo, no one secured mail hole covers, mail boxes or took trash cans out of area like what’s done in Times Square on New Year’s Eve,...must all be just a “coincidence”. Just heard State Police and FBI investigating an apartment at 364 Ocean Ave, REVERE, MA. regarding bombings. A reporter asked if the bombings were a False Flag operation in order to take away our rights. If these psycho’s want to fight, why don’t they leave innocent people out of it.

As long as that POS is in te White Hut, and the commie sweathog at DHS, it won’t. The “muzzie are our friends” lies continue on a daily basis, and as needed, to permit our complete and total infiltration and destruction.

when will this country realize we ARe at war with Islamofascism!

The day after made-up words like "Islamofascism" are abandoned in favor of the truth.

Islam is a seventh-century movement rooted in the timeless customs of desert wanderers.

Fascism is an outgrowth of modernity which could not have existed until the implications of 1848 were fully developed.

One has nothing to do with the other.

“Still less disturbing than the VIPs were protected by the bomber or bombers unknown.”

I don’t understand, can you expand on that?

This isn’t even remotely similar to Bengazi. It happened on our soil. It wasn’t a mob action, it was a bomb (two in fact). There were unexploded bombs found. There is plenty of evidence.
