Based on all the photos I've seen, I'd estimate 10 pounds of ANFO per device.

#63Why do the top links on reddit stop leaving the front page?
This link was #1 for about 10 minutes:
http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1cen7i/explosion_...
and now has vanished, along with all other sponsored links. A horrible tragedy like this seems leagues more important than the current top link:

It doesn't seem to be over yet.

#66While this is buggy/not ready for release, here's a way to follow this on social media. http://fastlane.grasswire.com/ PS. Here's our launchrock page if anyone cares http://grasswire.com
if it's yours: nice, but consider refresh rate of 'media' a bit lower. I can't read the captions before it's pushed down.
Re: Explosions near Boston Marathon finish line
#67Can someone just run a plain marathon without having to worry about this in modern civilized life? Come on. This isn't even crime, this is just insanity.
I'm willing to bet that running in a marathon is still statistically safer than taking the same trip in a car. No more how much modern life keeps improving, tragedies will happen, whether by natural disasters or nutjobs. Actively fearing that which is outside of your control is pointless.
No, it's not pointless. It lets us plan, alerts us to potential consequences, and motivates us to take action that might have a long term impact, among many other things.

#68Holy shit... my cousin and his wife were supposed to be there, as his wife was running in the marathon this year. Still haven't managed to get in touch with them, but my cousin's sister heard from them... they were a block away when the first explosion happened. %@#%! I'm... shit... don't know what to say, other than being very happy they are still alive. But apparently there's been a bomb threat at the hotel across the street from theirs, so they're still kind of panicking.
Jeeezzz....

well, this is indeed a tricky subject.
1., we don't know if it is terrorism (well, is a loner like breivik a terrorist or "just" running amok?)
2., it might not be over yet. mumbai took 60hours.
3., lots of people nowadays have someone there, a friend, an aquaintance. maybe just an online friend or simple source of joy
but yeah, terror spreads through news.
