What do super smart people on Twitter think of the Boston bombing? Really smart things, really!

Let's go ahead and say NSFW.

On that note, here's an excellent article on this very topic.

I just saw another UFO. This time traversing the northing sky, a white, orby, shape-changing, looking thing and to the naked eye was getting more and more faint in the sky. I happened to be looking at the moon in daylight and followed this thing in the sky and it close by it was this red thing up in the sky. Then the fargers disappeared aka I lost them. Gone from the sky they became.

farg, but it looked like a star up close, but it couldn't be a star, but it wasn't a plane, satellite, or hellicopter. It was kind of shapless.

Anyways, I'm alone in my own paranoia, but that was no damn weather balloon.

Holy

shtein.

[PhillyPhreak54]

At least 60-70 dead and hundreds injured. Reading the eyewitness reports saying that houses and businesses were completely leveled for blocks.

The fire started in an ammonium tank and then go boom.

Wow.

Just came to post that video...holy shtein. That's not a real tiny blast.

Article about it.

I come here for my news.  You guys do a good job of weeding through the bullshtein.

Someone I know said "This Texas shtein is crazy"

Am I a terrible person for laughing? Rome?

Same date in 1947 there was a blast in Texas City which is down here by Houston. All that city consists of is oil/gas processing facilities. We have a few customers there and when I'd drive through all I could think of is that if the place ever went up in fire the whole damn place would be wiped off the map.

DPS spokesman says that the blast was comparable to the OKC bombing.

[Munson]

Considering the amount of fertilizer in the plant vs. the amount at OKC, I would have to think it's much bigger than that.

I don't know why I have CNN on now after their bumblefargery today, but they just said the blast registered as a 2.1 on the richter scale, despite it being an above ground blast, and the nearest seismometer being 25 miles away. That is a goddamn big explosion.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah I am on msnbc now...CNN had Piers Morgan trying to handle it earlier and it was comical.

Google Map diagram of the area. Where that video was shot is marked and shows how far away they were and only adds to the illustration of how powerful that blast was
