Report of two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon

 

 

BOSTON (AP) - Authorities are investigating a report of two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

 

There were two booms heard from near the finish line inside the Fairmount Copley Plaza Hotel.

 

Race officials locked down the hotel because of the report.

 

The sound of two booms, which sounded like thunder, had come a short time earlier.

Good lord, what in the hell is wrong with these people. A picture I saw on twitter was pretty graphic. Early reports that some have lost limbs.

Is this a terrorist act?

Came from inside of one of the buildings fronting the finish line. Here's a picture of one of the explosions taken from the CBS live news feed. The reporters on the feed just stayed "numerous people reported to have severe to grave injuries".

Haven't said yet

Is this a terrorist act?

 

 

How can it not be?

Is this a terrorist act?

 

It certainly appears to be planned. Certainly appears to have been designed to instill terror through violence. Last piece of the puzzle is who did it and what their motives were.

I read something about the explosion coming from a trash can.

 

I hope everyone survives.

The person sitting next to me finished the marathon and his phone is going off from family and friends. We are waiting to board our flight.

FBI is on site
