12 dead, dozens more injured after two explosions rock Boston marathon finish line
New York Post ^ | April 15, 2013 | POST STAFF REPORT

BOSTON — Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.

A federal law-enforcement source told The Post there are at least 12 dead and twice as many injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold.

Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel.

"There were two bombs that exploded near the finish line in today's Boston Marathon," The Boston Marathon's official Facebook page read. "We are working with law enforcement to understand what exactly has happened."

“This changes everything [in New York],’’ one source told The Post. “Everyone’s on high alert. Our marathon was canceled in November. Who knows if that changed someone’s plans?’’

Hey, don't compare me to those SOBs! I'm basing my conclusions on sound statistical inference. They aren't.

Explosions? Time for gun control.

Have AP, NBC and the New York Times decided it MIGHT be a right winger behind this? They usually come up with that until the police disappoint them with the truth...

prayer is needed, and also comfort, how much more will it take? how long will it have to take for terrorism to end? i hope it will, but the reality is that it wont. there will always be those out there trying to push the limits, only the rapture will stop violence, only temporarily... and please correct me if im wrong

I have heard “homegrown.” That usually means right wing.

“Have they blamed white Christian Tea Party members yet?”

Not yet. And if turns out to be anybody but a white man, the Marxist Media will label it the work of a lone madman or this will simply drop out of the news altogether.

Hmmm, will they now try to ban explosives.... Oh heck there are already laws controlling explosives... Kind of like guns... But this happened... how can that be, it must be those people that have explosives legally... We need more explosives laws... Must be Bush’s fault... /Sarc.
