Doubt it’s a gas main, no crater, no continuing burn.

No they will blame on some anti-tax zealot who was mad he was having to pay “his fair share.”

I have a coworker who runs in this. I am trying to see if he is there this time and his status.

"Almost looks like a gas main."

I am hearing it originated inside the building which would be consistent with a gas line failure. The timing however coupled with a double explosion is quite suspect. Does anybody know if there is any parking structure/lot in the area?

Not sure. Never been to that area.

My comment was the large fireball. In a previous job, we worked with flammable gas a lot. Large balls of fire are a gas burn. Explosives typically don’t have that much “Hollywood”.

At this point, it doesn’t matter, praying for the victims

A gas main break and double explosion right at the Boston marathon finish line? What an AMAZING coincidence. ;-)

That would be the way to bet.

OTOH, that's not the way to bet on who will get blamed.
