More than 100 people from the Ottawa area were registered to run the Boston Marathon, where two people were killed and more than 20 were injured.

University of Mobile's Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines. University of Mobile's Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines. 　 "They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it's just a training exercise," Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15. Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He's been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before. 　 "Evidently, I don't believe they were just having a training exercise," Stevenson said. "I think they must have had some sort of threat or suspicion called in." Stevenson had just finished the marathon before the explosions. Stevenson said his wife had been sitting in one of the seating sections where an explosion went off, but thankfully she left her seat and was walking to meet up with him. "We are just so thankful right now," Stevenson said. ALL CREDITS TO: LOCAL 15 http://www.local15tv.com/mostpopular/...

A different BP oil rig blew up just before, but it was covered up.

GAPPA (Guarding Against Paralogical & Propagandist Activities) is a monitoring tactic concentrating on mass media, new media & activities of public relation. http://gappasquad.wordpress.com/2013/... Dear GAPPA squad friends, Quebecers and Canadians, Fellow international protesters, During recent protests, the Montreal police (called SPVM) has used a large number of stun grenades. This crowd dispersal device has become infamous here since the explosion that blew off the eye of a student, Francis Grenier, last spring. The Rubber Ball Blast Grenade (RBBG) is described as a sub-lethal weapon of dispersion. The RBBG's manufacturer, Defense Technology, states that: "This product may cause serious injury or death to you or others." In March 2012, in response to the controversy surrounding the injury of Francis Grenier, the SPVM proceeded with a public relations operation, stating that the Rubber Ball Blast Grenade is used to limit injuries, with special emphasis on the fact that the base of the grenade is made of rubber. Not shown, however, was another part of the grenade: the fuse assembly. But during the evening protest of march 5th 2013, one of these was retrieved, and it is obvious how extremely dangerous this can be if it is ejected at high speed near anyone's head. Safety rules are clearly not observed, there are multiple injuries, and even field journalists from La Presse, a Montreal corporate daily newspaper, had to denounce this violence... on Twitter. But to this day, no corporate media has clearly denounced the SPVM's brutality against peaceful Montreal protesters. This leaves us wondering: if this grenade is so dangerous, why is it being used so often and aggressively by Montreal police against it's rightful citizens ? Furthermore, why is this considered acceptable policing in a supposedly democratic country ? Wouldn't this kind of police behavior seem outrageous if it happened in a foreign dictatorship? ... GAPPA! Watch, Report, Resist.

Driving Southbound 280 in San Francisco and we see a bright blue shooting star fly across towards the Peninsula. Looked amazing in person! Who saw it?

Preliminary estimates show that the meteoroid was 15 meters wide and weighed roughly 8000 tons. The resulting airburst would have the equivalent yield of about a 1/2 megaton explosion.
