    Area near the Finish Line is now a crime scene.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    :( the news had to say, "there is a large pool of blood on the ground at the center of your screen"

    Surely Mr. Unlost is there helping out.

    thoughts are with all families and those affected.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Terrible. My son just got a text from a friend who was running in the marathon and said he and his girlfriend were okay. Ugh. Thoughts and prayers to everybody involved.

    NY Post saying 12 dead.

    Terrorist attack?

    wow, i haven't seen anything confirming deaths yet.

    food for thought... if it is terrorism, was this intended for the NYC marathon that was cancelled?

    fuck this world sucks sometimes. i hope the ones just injured are ok. just found out my nephew who lives in boston wasn't in the area so breathing a sigh of relief. hope all the Bostonites around here are ok. god bless everyone there.

    I think it would be harder to pull off in N.Y., cops and camera's everywhere. scary thought though.

    interesting fact they pointed out: there were 2 explosions. The first to go off, get attention and bring a large amount of people in one area to aid those injured. The second explosion to do major damage... :(

    I hate this world sometimes. As a person who was downtown Atlanta in 1996 and had just left Centennial 30 minutes prior to the bombing, this brings back such bad memories. My thoughts are to the people of Boston, the families, and to those who either lost somebody or were injured. What a shitty day this has become.

    Terrible. I have a few friends that were running and even more that went in to support them at the finish line. From what I've heard via facebook and text, 3 of my friends running were at Mile 24 and 25 when the explosion happened and their respective spouses and friends were not hurt. Thoughts and prayers to the people who are hurt.

    Just heard a 3rd explosive device was disabled according to cnn. I didn't even know the Boston Marathon was today. This is awful. Thoughts and prayers go to the families and friends of the victims.

    I was thinking the same thing.....was this originally planned for the NYC Marathon? I hope no one else will be killed. Just an hour earlier I was speaking my uncle in Boston and he spoke about the Sox and that the marathon passes near by his house. Not turning out to be a Patriotic day at all.

    Third explosion occured at JFK Library a half hour ago.

    Edit: Conflicting reports whether it was a unrelated fire or an actual explosion.
