I utterly fail to understand what would possess someone to do something as horrible as this. I hope they catch them and sentence them to the death penalty.

This is awful. I don't know what to make of it or if it's another 9/11 attack. I'm glued to the news to see what happens.

12 dead, nearly 50 injured after 2 explosions rock Boston Marathon, suspect identified and being guarded in hospital - NYPOST.com

They are now saying 12 are dead.

QuoteQuote:
A federal law-enforcement source confirmed to The Post there are at least 12 dead and nearly 50 injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold.

Authorities have a identified a suspect, a Saudi national, who is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital with shrapnel wounds.

Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of a nearby hotel.

I wouldn't go by NY Post. They are pretty sensationalist. Most sources are reporting 2 dead with 23 wounded. Some are reporting 50 wounded, but no sources besides NY Post are saying 12 dead.

Death and terror does not take a holiday in Boston.

I'm sad and angry.Just 2 hours ago at 2:50 PM Boston time there were explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.All flights in and out of Boston Ma are halted.Just awhile ago the was an explosion at the JFK Library.This is a fluid situation at present.So far 2 are dead and scores injured with missing limbs.This is only 10 miles from my home and I am seething with emotion at the moment.This will be an ongoing story for quite sometime.--charliezap

Guess I need no longer be worried about Bachrach ....but... I'm hurt by not being around for this. .....While this was happpenning, someone down here who 'No one ever listened to' was describing various things....


While someone was blowing up *my* town.

I used to know every rise and bump and nuance of that block....at speed on a bicycle.

I invoke Boyston St, and....*clap* .

Whoever did this, ...don't expect it to be as quick or tidy as you may have been told, be you jihadist or ...... This is Boston.




Hi.

Terrible... My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected.

Is this world that screwed-up that one can't even run a marathon without the threat of something like this?
