My wife just called from the stadium. She supervises one of the University sky boxes and said there was a tremendous blast and they wont let anyone have access to thier cars parked in the area of the bomb. It was apparently a suicide bomber who prematurely triggered the bomb. It was just before halftime with 80,000 people in the stands. My guess is an OU student frome a Muslim country. I am so angry I am shaking. www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1495058/posts |

Probably some dumbass drunk college kid made a homemade "firework" type bomb to make a little noise and the fuse burnt faster than he thought it would. That's my guess anyway, I am probably wrong.
|
|
It doesn't sounds like a suicide bomber-type situation, but I'm waiting to hear more.
|
|
just found this story on MSNBC. came here, and there's already 21 replies?
|
|
I would agree with you on this. Maybe a distraught college kid upset about his girlfriend porking a frat guy or something. |
|
|
Hmmmm..
Glad I turned down a buddy who wanted me to go to the game with him.. C.g. |
|
He was so distraught that you didn't go he blew himself up in the parking lot. I know it's fucked up I just couldn't help myself. |

Fox sports just mentioned it at the end of wrap up of the game broadcast....1 fatality.... No idea of the who and the why yet. |

The loud noise of the explosion could be heard inside Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where 84,000 people were watching the Oklahoma Sooners play Kansas State (search).
Officers cordoned off an area west the stadium after the explosion and nobody was allowed out of the stadium immediately after the blast, which occurred shortly before 8 p.m., about halftime of the game. People were allowed out about 30 minutes later. About 9 p.m. a police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast.Jaclyn Hull, an OU freshman, said she was leaving the game shortly before the explosion. "We saw a little bit of smoke, about as much as you would see coming up from a grill," she said. |

Maybe not on purpose? |

Stupid college kid/prank gone bad?
Or Something far worse like a suicide bomber who planned to be in the stadium and had a premature malfunction.... If its the latter, I'll bet we NEVER hear the truth. Hopefully its the former. |

Damn Jewish/American Princess's It's a conspiracy, I tells ya ! |

local news here in oklahoma saying it was a suicde bomber with bombs strapped to hims elf
|
|
Seems like some people are jumping to the failed suicide bomber theory with little info to go on. What makes anyone think it was a suicide bomber? It might have been a booby-trap intended to kill the driver of the car, for all we know.
Maybe there's more info out there, but it's just not being reported in the media outlets I've checked out. |
|
Or.....maybe just a leaky propane tank at one of the tail gate partys....
|
|
University president is calling it a suicide.
I'm sure when we discover his name was Mohammed Abdul-azizz Al-Husseini, and he was an exchange student from Yemen, they will still be calling it a suicide. |
|
Very true. But what makes you think it wasnt? With little info to go on, one guess is as good as another. |
|
|
Just got home from the game. Blast was audible over the band playing and I was on the opposite side of the stadium. I'm hearing one device was suicide, another was found and detonated by bomb squad. I didn't hear a second explosion so I cant confirm the second device.
I live only 1.5 blocks from the stadium so the AR is locked and loaded... |
