    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.

    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?

    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.

    they keep playing it over and over again on NBC. :nono: bad NBC.

    Yeah, pretty intense.

    All cell phone service has been shut down in Boston to prevent possible remote bomb detonations.
