Explosions near the finish line. No word on the cause yet, but the injuries sound horrific.

I am hoping against hope that it was a gas leak.

From the Boston Marathon official twitter feed:
"There were two bombs exploded near the finish line in today's Boston Marathon. We are working with law enforcement to understand what exactly has happened"

Police are saying they are still finding unexploded devices.

Seriously suestorm and ABitOnTheSide, STFU. They are reporting at least two people dead. Many others injured. Now is not the time for screwing around.

Look, I have a friend running the marathon today and I'm very scared for him so don't tell ME I'm tasteless. You people can be just as damned evil, I've been reading BWW for years. GTF over yourselves, really.

OTH, I bet it was was a Tea Partier. Tea Party + Boston + Tax Day + Anniversary of Lincoln's death.

As of 15 minutes ago, the Boston Marathon individual runner tracker was up and running, so if you know someone who was running, you can at least see if/when they finished. Obviously it's no guarantee they're safe, but it'll give you some idea of where they might have been. (And I hear cell/text service is a nightmare so it might be a while before you hear from friends and loved ones.)

You have a friend running the marathon so that gives you the green light to be an absolute f*cktard? Nice.

Lives have been lost and reports are that people are still in danger as they are finding non-detonated devices. Perhaps you could stop trying so hard to be "edgy and funny" and just keep your idiocy to yourself?

I'm trying to find that now. I've been on a few different sites. Looking for the link.

I just read a tweet that indicated that an AP Reporter on TV says the families from Newtown were in a VIP section near the explosion but fortunately no one was reported as injured.

I have read that the police have found secondary devices, too, having already detonated one.

This Marathon was dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Newtown shooting. ugh.

Two homemade devices and this AP REPORT:

BREAKING: Intelligence official: 2 more explosive devices found at Boston Marathon; being dismantled

This very much looks like terrorism, foreign or homegrown.
