The pictures on twitter are just horrible.
*JUMPING GUN* if this was a planned explosion... why?!!?!?! Who attacks a RACE?!
If not, then what unfortunate timing. I pray for the injured.

Apparantly, there were 2 explosions--seconds apart, originating on opposite sides of the street. I guess it could be accidental, gas leak or something--but highly unlikely.

If it was planned you have to think its an international race that gets international publicity. If it was planned hunt them down & do very bad things to them.
I wonder what pathetic group is responsible. The IRA? Al qaeda? It will be traced to some asinine group that feels they're "victims".
When caught, they need to be eliminated like roaches. No trial. No press conference. Just shoot 'em and dump their bodies. Actually, some public executions would be really cool.
CNN Now reports 2 dead and 22 injured.

If it were gas leak you'd probably see lots of fire with it. Reminds me of the 96 Atlanta Olympics in some ways.
Multiple devices found along boyleston street that were unexploded. Definitely terrorist attack at this point. Multiple devices with staggered timers are often used to target first responders that respond to initial blasts. Could be foreign (international race), could be domestic. I hate to say it, but "patriots day" has always brought out extremists, and today it coincides with tax day. I would remind everyone though that it may take several days to find out what really happened and why. I'm reminded of Richard Jewell, a first responder from the Olympic bombing that was railroaded as a suspect before being cleared.
#BREAKINGNEWS: AP reporter says Newtown families were in the VIP section right by the explosion.

Looking in the wrong place, there, I think...
#1 Tax day
#2 "Patriot day"
#3 The anniversary of Waco and OKC...
#4 They just hit the JFK library.
This is home-grown all the way.
I will wait to the FBI does its job, where was Homeland Security? It could be both home and foreign terrorists working together.
Yes lets wait and see we have enough crazies in our own country.
the bombs were low grade probably around hand-grenade size, whoever set them was a 3rd rate amateur

JFK Library was a fire in one of their systems per news reports, not a bomb.
