It looks like there is another thread on the topic. Basically, it said two bombs went off near the finish line. No real details. This is definitely still developing. Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

fox just caught sound of what looked like a police officer saying two explosions, at least three people dead "blown apart" and "maybe more."

 

[Ravi]

Reports that it may have been an accident.

Inside the hotel?

I hope it was an accident, we're tired of terrorism.

What kind of sick fuck blows up a marathon race?

If this is the work of Islamic terrorists, we are going to need a President with more balls than the one we have.

2 Explosions at Boston Marathon Finish Line - ABC News


BOSTON April 15, 2013 (AP)
Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.

Competitors and race organizers were crying as they fled the chaos. Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners.

"There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding.

About three hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another thunderous explosion could be heard a few seconds later.

Fox reporting 3 dead so far

 

[Gracie]

Why a marathon? Because they can? (Whomever "they" are). I hope they catch whomever did it. A marathon. Sheesh.

[CrazedScotsman]

Ok, let's turn off the politics in this thread.

Just reported 3 dead
Lost limbs
Dozens injured

Said bombs placed in garbage cans, but that isn't for sure.
