fecking terrorist bastards.
It's amazing how quickly all of the first responders reacted to this, pulling debris out of the way and tending to the victims. I would have soiled my pants and ran 30 blocks 'till I passed out.
More places being cleared out, Rattlesnake cleared out due to a package being found nearby.
rudie, look for what the numbers for people looking for families are.
best of luck, brother. x
My girlfriend works for Langley over in NY. They've detained a Saudi National in FBI security.
Have you tried Facebook? My cousin was running and found out on there that her and her boyfriend are safe.
NBC Sports Network:
Reports of runners that crossed finish line and continued to run to Mass General Hospital to give blood to victims.

I don't know . . . April 15th, tax day, Boston, home of the tea party, bomb at the Kennedy library . . .
Rudie..... call here if you can :- 617 635 4500 (for family and friends potentially involved and unaccounted for)
2219: Boston's Logan Airport has announced a full ground stop - no flights in or out - as of 30 minutes ago.
Unlikely to have anything to do with anything, but bloody creepy.
My money would be on an American and not an American Muslim or Muslim being the culprit.
Probably security
This gets more and more horrific the more I watch....
They've detained a Saudi National who was seen bringing two backpacks into the area..... early intel suggests the latter thus far.
This is so sickeningly disgusting and tragic. The world can be a really depressing and upsetting place at times.
A marathon is such a joyous occasion, one that brings help to thousands and is a real celebration of life.
Events like this does make you think what the world would be like without religion.

For those looking for a live 'feed'. This seems to be best.

Boston Police: No Arrests Have Been Made In Marathon Bombing
A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.
"At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.
The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.
"Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.
The Post report was attributed to "a law enforcement source." According to the Post, the "suspect" is "currently being guarded in a Boston hospital."

Stay safe everyone 
It's way to early to tell anything of who is behind this. It's all speculation right now. Anyone old enough to remember the Atlanta Olympics bombing might remember that.
It's pretty clear it was somewhat thought out. Not sure what the JFK library would have to do with it. Maybe there was some gathering planned there today?
Maybe it was the North Koreans......

I think speculation like this should be avoided as much as possible.
Was the third explosion the controlled one, or was the controlled one the fourth? I think it's the former, but not 100%.
Think you could be right there,very easy to blame Muslims.
Could be security or someone looking for a good vantage point of the race. You're right it looks creepy though.

No, third proper explosion, and a controlled one.
Or politics? Chances are no matter who did this it was politically motivated.
Anyway just speculation.
Heard radio reports earlier. Doesn't sound like anyone knows anything. They EOD people have to check every bag dropped near the finish line and sounds like there are many.
They tweeted saying they had a fire in a new building and everyone was safe, it's probably not connected, the place is 4/5 miles away
Or maybe it was an insane person?
We don't know anything about the people or person behind this yet.
Same date as the Hillsborough disaster.
Boston and Liverpool together in grief.

Bingo. Thats why I said the speculation is useless right now.
possible very telling.Can you fit a rucksack in a mailbox?
Any joy in finding your loved ones?
pm me if you need help.

They've taken back the claim it was a bomb at the JFK library now, back to the original idea that it was an unconnected fire.
