Explosions At The Boston Marathon Finish Line

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Looks like a bunch of injuries, nothing too detailed coming out yet...

[tomustang]

I just seen this here and got the alert from my news app

[MarkH024]

I just looked at some video clips and images. Not good. Reported, limbs were blown off, nothing said of any deaths yet.  I would post the link but I'm not sure they want that here.

Sad state of affairs. Ironically enough a coworker and I were just talking about how we haven't seen a terrorist type attack at a major sporting event yet.....

Prayers go out to the families and first responders at the scene.

No one knows what happened at this point I've read it was gas line explosion a couple of places but most are saying the cause is unknown.

2 separate explosions about a block away from each other

A friend of mine that works in the Pentagon said that there are other "devices" being found. 

[flyfisher]

Yeah I saw they found other devices as well. I highly doubt two explosions in such close proximity and time and the day of a huge event are coincidental.

[BrettD]

Im not saying it wasnt a bomb Im just not the type that is going assume it was a bomb. More and more reports are saying it was a bomb and that they have recovered a couple that where un detonated.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families involved in the horrendous act that took place in Boston on Patriot's Day & the Boston Marathon.

I'm fine.  We are fifty plus miles south of Boston.  Thanks for your concern.

If it wasn't for you no one would keep me in line. I'd of been banned years ago

If that were the case, your name would be McNamara, the leader of the banned.

Talked to my daughter again she is finally home Brockton, south of Boston, she works in the city. Her roomie works at a Starbucks, the blast blew the widows out. She ended up being evacuated twice. They're a little shook up but fine.

[Scorcher214]

Just got home from work and saw the video of the explosions. Holy crap that was terrifying to watch. Those poor people, one bomb, then another, in that moment, what even goes through your mind? Is another bomb gonna go off? Are we under attack? With all the crap with NK going on....geez oh petes

[NorcalBassin]

Absolutely terrible. Thoughts and prayers to the 8 year old kid's parents and family as well as all the other victims/families. Some of the photos make Kevin Ware's injury look like a hangnail... hopefully the kid in custody makes it easy for them to quickly connect the dots. I'll never understand the mindset of attacking the innocent.

[Fish Chris]

Just senseless, and heart breaking.
