2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
This story is still breaking...but so far there have been injuries. Hope none of our members or their families have been caught up in the explosions.

Believed three dead so far, people being taken to emergency rooms. Judging by the live pics the casualty figure is bound to rise

I know a few folks who were out there, not quite at the finish line but in the vicinity as well as a lot of friends along the route through the towns.
Making it all very weird and surreal from such a happy event that had been such a great day

Some folks are saying a few deaths, locally and some of the pics on twitter are pretty grim, with that much body damage, there's bound to be deaths

The Boston Globe tweets: "Update: 2 powerful explosions detonated in quick succession leaving at least dozens of people wounded, some of them with dismemberment"
Horrid!

Bloody awful.
Hubby is running the London marathon on Sunday, something like this happening at a supposedly 'fun' occasion is just horrendous.

CNN with Wolfe Schnauzer-face is usually off the mark. Watching on BBC and Fox. There was also a report of a suspicious device at a hotel. Hopefully there is nothing to it and no more to come. Thankfully no secondary devices to take out the first responders. so far. OK, Fox just jumped the shark by interviewing that arsewipe Arpaio about this.
