AP: BREAKING: Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon result in injuries

...Here's a link to video of one of the explosions as runners were passing by...

It'd be nice if news networks wouldn't plaster their logos and titles over half the screen area so we could at least see what's happening.

Boston.com sports producer Steve Silva was near the finish line when the explosions occurred near the intersection of Boylston and Exeter streets.

“I was there at the finish, shooting finish line scenes, and then bang, it just went off, and then less than 15 to 20 seconds after there was a second explosion, closer to Fairfield street,” Silva said.

“It was just immediately [evident] there were injuries, right in the middle of the spectator crowds. There was blood everywhere, there were victims being carried out on stretchers. I saw someone lose their leg, people are crying, people are confused.”

“It was just an explosion, it came out of nowhere. There are multiple injuries. I saw dismemberment, I saw blood everywhere. People are badly injured.”

I’m assuming islamderthals. Lil Kim doesn’t want an actual war, just attention.

Have no fear. Dear leader says we can absorb these kind of things.

Gold rallies on this sort of uncertainty. This is so far down the rabbit hole it’s not funny.

FReeper mod says “multiple threads” - I just don’t know who to believe anymore LOL

I saw it too. I’m still a little shaky from the image. It there was a time for mental bleach this is it.

Not only that, if a cell was used to trigger, they can mark the time and source of calls going to the area.

C’mon, this is NOT terrorism.

It’s just “workplace violence”....move along.

excellent point. I would think a big event would have bomb sniffing dogs?

“Chris Mathews on on MSNBC”

As usual the best place to find out what really happened asap:
right here on FR.

[Cuttnhorse]

Well said Nully

The first reports from the front are always wrong. The second and third reports are usually wrong too.

And then the msm will ignore it and some politician will say what difference does it make.

Two sep explosions 15 sec apart. CBS has that on video

Ball bearings/shotgun pellets reportedly found. Shep/Fox

Sad,sad,sad.

It’s because of the sequester.

If we would send not only our kids, but more money to defend the blue cities , all would be well.

I strongly apologize for being too quick with the sarcasm, before learning of the actual carnage. This is horrible, whether it's terrorism or not. Prayers to all those involved and their families.

Bush’s fault. He was born in New Haven, which like Boston is in New England [/s].
