    That's the point though we don't know if they are true. A bombing, mass attack, disaster and etc.. are by nature very chaotic add on top of that multiple news sources and now things like twitter and there is going to be a lot of rumor, misinformation, unconfirmed reports and such are going to be flying around. For those who remember 911 there were reports that a truck bomb had exploded outside the State Department and that hijacked planes were headed at almost every major city in the US. None of those were true.

    I am afraid that something like this will happen at a big soccer event sooner or later.

    I wait for this at every opening ceremony of big events like Olympics, World Cup or Euro Cup. Gladly nothing has ever happened but I'm 100% sure it will eventually happen in the next few years.

    Thankfully it hasn't.
    I remember there was a lot of speculation that the Illuminati were planning something for the 2012 Olympics. Obviously a bunch of BS.

    In Cambridge now. Additional reports of "mysterious packages" around Harvard and Central Square T-stop and others. They've blocked off the areas They seem to have knocked out cell signal everywhere.

    Really weird feeling. I was just walking around the Marathon finish line area yesterday, but didn't want to be around the crowds today.

    What a terrible, terrible thing.

    According to CBS News the JFK library is saying that the fire there was accidental.

    Since posting, I've read more and watched some videos, and I guess I agree with you. A truly professional job would probably have larger bombs and managed to detonate more of them.
