Boston marathon explosions

I really don't want this to continue happening.

Everyone wants tragedies like these to stop, really

The Taliban denied being involved in this attack.

The types of bombs used were "pressure cooking pot bombs", which had been used in the 2010 attack on Times Square, which was associated with the Taliban.

An arrest has reportedly been made. News conference will be coming up sometime in the next few hours.

EDIT: FBI and Boston PD deny the reports of an arrest.

They have at least some clue now;videos showed someone on the rooftop close to where the bombs exploded.

Heard this too, but my mind was too traumatized just to even respond to said post; I too give prayers to all those affected by yet another unthinkable tragedy.

A recent Family Guy episode was banned due to the Boston marathon explosions.

It's the one where Peter gets a Muslim friend and gets caught up in a terrorist attack to blow up a bridge. The part that cancelled it was from a cutaway, where Peter is in the Boston Marathon, driving in his car over people and running over everyone, and then winning the race.

They don't know if it will remained banned or not. I understand having it banned for awhile, but we'll see.

Omg, that scene sounds messed up. Did they make this before or after the explosion?

It aired a month ago.

The biggest concern over it was the fact people on Youtube were putting videos up with the bombing scene unrelated to the cutaway and putting it together with the boston cutaway to make it look like the boston explosion.

The Simpsons had an episode from 1999 that took place almost exclusively at the World Trade Center.

Nobody aired it for a few years after 9/11.
