The two explosions look to be separated by a few hundred feet, doubtful that's any kind of accident.

At least no secondary explosions.

[VINMAN]

Sickening.

This is beyond belief. One can only hope the bastards responsible are found quickly. Thoughts & prayers to the victims of this heinous act.

Just reported two more devices found. Being dismantled.

Now that's Karma.

Hope he doesn't get any complications during his hospitalisation.

Would a bullet to the head be a complication?


I'd get the docs aren't rushing to get him stitched up first...

a buck says this is a American, that has been seeing a psychologist for psycosis....

I saw on TV news that the fellow in the orange top that was knocked down by debris was up and walking away with some help. If that's him, he's a lucky man. So sorry to see the carnage involving the folks in the seating area. That's horrible.

With the Grand Prix this weekend in Long Beach, one can only wonder. The whole country is going on high alert.

[porsche4life]

Yup, and MotoGP in Austin this weekend...

After the duded offed himself at NASCAR yesterday... I think I'll be watching things on TV for a while...

Hate to see him die too quick, might have trouble charting analgesia though......

[Lapkritis]

Friends and coworkers at the site when this happened. Still a few to check in... lots of pics on deadspin early on showing the fireballs well before major news picked it up.

"Roupen Bastajian, a 35-year-old state trooper from Rhode Island, had just finished the race when they put the heat blanket wrap on him and he heard the first blast.

"I started running toward the blast. And there were people all over the floor," he said. "We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated ... At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing.""
