It is just tragically ironic that the terrorists are so out of touch with reality that they pick the one major sport that is dominated by former colonial third-world African nations. They attack the one sport where Americans and Europeans do not dominate at all.
Link?
3rd bomb at JFK library around 4:30pm.
Press Conference that was at a different hotel said there is likely video surveillance.
Press center still continues to operate as most of the people are watching local news broadcast, as the building is in lockdown and people are not allowed to leave.

Unconfirmed reports of "two bombs" - not bomb threats - by media director at 2013 Boston marathon. We believe in the finish line area. The hotel is now locked down.
After he said this, everyone in the press room was like "So that's what we heard. It wasn't real loud but we are 1.5 blocks away."
We also heard the noise as well.
No longer unconfirmed, and they found two more that hadn't been detonated. The last I heard there's been a third explosion at the JFK Library. This is an unspeakable tragedy that hits too close to home since runners and their race were the targets. To speak the obvious, not just the BM but the other major marathons will never be the same.
Tufts ER evacuated. ATF in there per WBZ.
Sad, sick, and disgusting. Heartbreaking pic of kid being wheeled off in chair, and he looks to be . My kids have watched from those stands. Thoughts to all the police, EMS, and innocents in harms way. Too many angry people in this world.
Wonder why JFK library? I know the Cuban Missle crisis exhibit opened there yesterday. Wonder if there is a link. Hubbub over the Jay-Z Beyonce visit.

These are sick fuking Islamic wack-job terrorists. We don't negotiate with these a--holes, hunt them down and exterminate these useless excuses for human beings.
"These are sick fuking wack-job terrorists."
I have fixed your quote and with the revision, I agree whole-heartedly. Islam has nothing to do with it. I promise you that the if any Islamic god exists, then he does not support this.

I apologize for posting twice. I tried to correct an error and thought that I had hit stop soon enough to prevent my first post from showing up.
The videos being shown on the news are crazy.... shrapnel in people's heads.... a guy on fire.
I can't get over the runners punching their watches after the explosion goes off and they have to stop running. Habits die hard.
Anyone with information about the explosions should call +1-800-494-TIPS.
Boston's Mayor Tom Menino has arranged a telephone hotline for worried friends and relatives: +1-617-635-4500.
Hope those injured pull through
Curious if security was less after the 4 hour mark, rather than the 2 hour mark (when winners expected, etc). Regardless, looked like a lot of police around.
The 8th picture on this website http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2013/04/photos-of-the-boston-marathon-bombing/100495/ is insane, don't click it if you have a weak stomach.
"3rd bomb" at the JFK lib has not been confirmed by national news yet. It has been stated that it is a fire "unrelated" to the marathon incident.

picture number 8 was the worst thing i've seen in quite some time
Did anyone else notice this...the male leaders were running under an overpass, toward the finish, they passed someone running in camo with a backpack on? I remember thinking, "That seems weird," but now with this bombing, it makes me wonder if there might be a connection.
Police Chief changed his statement that JFK was fire, and not likely related.

I agree, on msn they have the same pic just cropped above his injury and his face isn't blurred out. Poor guy looks like he is in shock and not agonizing pain. I hope he will be okay.
tragic and shocking event. I can't get my head around how anyone could do this. WHY???
Thoughts go out to all those affected.
