Apparently more devices found. New York City now also placed on high alert

Holy crap... it's always startling to realize that this is real life and not a video game or movie...

CNN was just saying that it could just be a failure in infrastructure

Maybe unreliable but someone called in CBS saying there is a third explosion

Those are limbs. there are other pics showing it more clearly, including a guy with no legs.

Well I was having trouble sleeping, thought I'd check twitter one more time before going to bed. Oops.

RIP mates....

The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe
Officials: There will be a controlled explosion opposite the library within one minute as part of bomb squad activities.

Controlled explosion. i guess that rules out an accident

some people want to watch the world burn...

Crazy, wonder how this is going to play out. Who does these things? And why? I don't get it. Why can't we all just get along, or at least not blow shit up. Throw out religion, believes, and all that other political bullshit!

Makes me sad. RIP to those who lost their lives, and all the best to the people and families going through hard times.

Wow, @Boston_Police followers going up about 20 per second...

well just because they blow up a suspicious item doesnt mean its a bomb just yet
they have to look through the remains to see if it is



if it were a attack you would think they would set a device off when everyone is bunched up at the starting line waiting to begin the race

CNN was noting, there's a lot going on in Boston today: Red Sox/Fenway opening day, the Marathon, it's a state holiday (Patriots Day)...

TEAM Radio @TEAM1040
RT @AP: BREAKING: Boston Police Department: 2 dead, 22 injured in 2 explosions near marathon finish line

:suspicious: I wonder if the particular holiday has something to do with it


I've quite a few family in Boston a couple who actually participate in the marathon thankfully they're all in Hong Kong atm
