Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing (HBO Documentary)

[Guestx]

I checked this out a couple of nights ago. Pretty interesting.

Though it does give a general overview of events, the focus is primarily on a handful of victims and how they've dealt with the tragedy since that day.

That was a good one.

Feel for the chick who lost a leg, then the other, and couldnt even walk on phony legs.

More going on in the documentary than the marky mark movie.

Did they mention Sherdog?

 

[Punky]

US government was behind the attack.

Dude, I know. That shit was just brutal. I don't understand it, either. Hopefully the doctors will get that figured out and she can get passed this.

Ha, you know, I have to say I did really enjoy that movie as well. In fact, I called it one of my best surprises of 2016.

It's crazy that those guys were just about to launch an even worse attack on New York City, before they were captured/killed on the way. Most people don't talk about that part. As bad as Boston was, there were almost about to be a shitload more deaths.

Is that right? I don't even remember that detail.

That's because no one ever talks about it, but those are the facts. They had more of those bombs in the car, they only stopped to fill up their gas tank in Boston, then they were heading straight to Manhattan to blow them up. And from the experience they just had bombing Boston, they were going to do a lot more damage in New York City by changing a few things to maximize casualties.

The only reason it didn't happen is because the Chinese dude (Dun Meng) they carjacked made a run for it at the gas station, and alerted the police, which got the whole car chase / shootout going. Motherfucker had his GPS tracking number *memorized*, which is why the cops were able to catch them so quick. Dude is a hero.
