Explosions rock the finish line at the Boston Marathon

[DiamondDust]

This is breaking now, but there's been two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. One picture has come out, and it's pretty grizzly in terms of blood splattered on the ground and such. I won't post it, but it's easy to find right now.

Multiple sources on Twitter are sending in updates, but a good one to follow now is @BostonGlobe

@JackieBrunoNECN 7m I saw people's legs blown off. Horrific. Two explosions. Runners were coming in and saw unspeakable horror.

This doesn't sound good. Prayers for the victims and for our country.

There's no way to make the news good, but I hope this turns out to be accidental rather than intentional.

I sincerely hope that this isn't as bad as it first appears. Prayers for all.

Doesn't look to be accidental. Reports are coming out that the first two explosions were bombs and a third one was possibly found as well.

Sorry to hear that, but it's what we all probably expected. The violent spirit in the land,...

words fail me right now.

 

[Bazza]

Wow. That is beyond reprehensible.

My thoughts and prayers for the victims and their families.

@ManeynMorning: My God...I'm listening to the Boston police scanner...there's potential devices reported all over the city now...

Yep, and I got a feeling this isn't over Obamacare or gun control.

We can never be complacent especially after 9/11. We must remain vigilant. PERIOD.

@TheCrimsonWhite 31s UA's head of Gorgas Information Services, Nancy Fawley, crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon at 1:55 ET, 1 hour before the blasts.

I wonder if its a 911 or OK City?

 

[2003TIDE]

Saying 2 dead, 22 injured now. Police finding other "devices."

probably be a while before we know what all is going on

There is a video of one of the bombs that is being shown on the Bloomberg TV stream. Thankfully it was not loaded with shrapnel
