punjabi_khota Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Phones not working, websites down, train service partially stopped, bridges closed..bomb threat in JFK library...this is a mess. half a million people come to watch this marathon....it is a nightmare right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texy Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 WOW. This is totally unexpected, completely out of the blue. That too at a marathon race? Perfect target. Not much checking security wise...out in the open on public streets not an enclosed arena with much tighter security. 26000 people attending. If you want to cause harm and need maximum victims, this is the perfect target. Remember those 2 planes leaving Boston Logan airport were chosen as they had a full tank of gas going cross country all the way to Cali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboysfan Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 how are you supposed check everyone at a marathon event? its really impossible to be on a 24/7 vigil unless you become a true police state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
