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. Everyones on high alert. Our marathon was canceled in November. Who knows if that changed someones plans?

Why does Shep Smith keep saying that 2 people are dead?
Prayers for those killed or injured.
Well, the CBS reporter just joined ABC, CNN, and NBC’s in speculating about “right wing” involvement because of the approximate coincidence with Waco and OKC. That pretty well makes all the MSM “reporting” info they’re pulling out of their butts.
The same people outraged at Newtown because of guns..
Must be outraged by Marathons... marathons KILL PEOPLE...
the same logic applies..
YES.. exactly the same..
NO GUN Zones get people KILLED...
Must’ve been in a hurry and left off the last “ mark. Should’ve checked the link at PREVIEW... Oh well, they’ve probably all been seen by now...
“Has Biden helicoptered in yet to stand in front of the yellow tape and urge Universal Background Checks?”
Universal Background Checks on all Muzzies and then expulsion. Start with the White Hut. Include all Saudi’s. Expel the UN. Clean house in Michigan. Sniffer dogs required to check all Mosque’s for explosives on an unannounced frequent but irregular schedule.
Note, you may all feel free to add to this initial list.
Keep this for your files.
my first thought was it was related to this.
likely one here on an expired visa.(again)
Foreign student visa restrictions were lifted last year (I think).
Probably someone from Kaufman County, Texas involved.
It's a safe bet that some conservative will now do something outrageous like pick up a beverage on tv so the media can go ape over how dangerous patriotic Americans are.
You’re an idiot. Just sayin’
As of a few minutes ago a local Boston station were saying 2 dead and a dozen or so in critical condition.
See post #115
Can’t be sure about the first, but the second looks like a shaped-charge, like a Claymore.
The explosion goes out to the street, rather than up-all-over.
Professional job ..................................................................................... FRegards
I just heard again that 12 are dead, one of them an 8 year old child.
Now I just heard that at least, 3 people are dead.
my local report is a third has just died... 130 injured.
Someone in the media needs to get this straight.
