Overloaded or shut down?

Considering that EMS use cell phones in addition to their radios, excessive public cell use could be problematic. Can they restrict cell use only to certain users?

Some freedom of speech advocates think it is a system overload not a government shut down.

Investigators have a suspect ? a Saudi Arabian national ? in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.

Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.

I hope the media is going to be responsible in reporting this event.

So far.....NOT SO MUCH.

Apparently the Associated Press just reversed themselves in this claim.

We are seeing TERRIBLE main stream media coverage of this event.

Re: Two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon

Yes we really have to slow down here and not just report every rumour.
 
Re: Two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon

Re: Two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon

I think we should leave this thread here as an example of horrible reporting by major "reliable" news sources.

When AP puts out a story, it is expected that someone has done some fact checking. Apparently not.

Now "reliable" media are whipping up anti-Arab feelings. Disgusting.

NY Post’s ‘Saudi National’ Story Untrue, BPD Spokesman Says [Update]

The New York Post‘s earlier report that a “Saudi national” was in guarded custody after the Boston Marathon bombing appears to have been an unconfirmed rumor, and Boston Police deny any part of the conjecture is true.

Update: BPD confirms that no suspect is in custody and no persons of interest are being questioned as of 6 PM EST.

Here is what is true and may or may not be related to today's vicious and cowardly attack - the Boston Marathon is held on Patriots' Day every year.

Re: Two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon

Of course all of us at FluTrackers offer our sympathies to all of the victims of this bombing and of all violence around the world.

It seems everyday we are reading about a bombing of innocent civilians.

Here are some recent headlines:

Iraq bombing wave kills dozens days before vote

Anniversary of Oklahoma City bombing to be marked

Pakistan Bus Bombing Kills Eight

Lockerbie bombing: Witnesses evade police in Libya


How can we create a culture that is more kind? Where the taking of lives is unheard of?

What can we do in our daily lives to spread the ripple of understanding and compassion?
