Oh no! Breaking news from 15 minutes ago! "The two booms were heard from near the finish line inside the Fairmount Copley Plaza hotel."
news.yahoo.com/two-explosions-boston-marathon-finish-line-190259876--spt.html Two explosions at Boston marathon finish lineBOSTON - Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon have resulted in injuries. Bloody spectators were being carried Monday to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. Police wove through competitors as they ran back toward the course. "There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding. About three hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another explosion could be heard a few seconds later. |

Me too. I remember when I lived in England there were many IRA incidences and casualties like this over the years. But here it is very rare, other than 9/11. Still, it does not alter the magnitude of these atrocities, no matter where or when. I have been careful not to listen to the news as it is obviously non-stop here, living an hour from Boston. Much more, I've been feeling the shock that human life can be so devalued in the name of other peoples' suffering, or principles.   l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/9n7SMzWc_JpBv4T8lVRWAA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTMwMDtxPTg1O3c9NDAw/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/video/video.associatedpressfree.com/a42e9e65c9c6733e5b8272099f24e6b9"BOSTON—Law enforcement officials said Tuesday evening that they have no concrete information on who planted the two bombs that left more than 170 people injured and three dead near the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday.

Was gobsmacked watchin it on the news... BBC gave over its through the night news almost entirely to it.
Must say, the surgeon that gave an interview was a superb human being. He was calm and collected, despite some utterly peurile questioning.

Boston Marathon bomber manhunt: City on lockdown as authorities hunt for bomb suspect
Very eerie quiet streets of Boston:
The Northend:
.....................
[Updated at 1:00 p.m. ET]BOSTON—Thousands of law enforcement officers are entering the 14th hour of a massive, door-to-door manhunt for a suspect in Monday's Boston Marathon bombings that wounded more than 170 people and left three dead. A late-night police chase and shootout left one marathon bombing suspect--26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev--dead and the other, his younger brother, on the run, police here said. One police officer was killed and another was seriously wounded during the violent spree. The city of Boston has ground to a standstill as the manhunt continues in a 20-block radius of Watertown, with local leaders warning Bostonians to stay indoors. Police also announced there will be a "controlled explosion" in a building in Cambridge Friday afternoon......

Boston Marathon bomber manhunt: Police nab suspect alive
[Updated at 9:10 p.m. ET] BOSTON—Police have nabbed the 19-year-old suspected Boston Marathon bomber, after a day-long manhunt that completely shut down the city of Boston and several suburbs. An ambulance arrived at the scene to take the suspect, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, to a hospital. A volley of gunfire had been heard in the Watertown area around 7:00 p.m., and police told residents to stay inside and shelter in place as SWAT teams rushed in. Tsarnaev was found in a boat in the yard of a home on Franklin Street, close to where he and his older brother engaged in a shootout with police nearly 24 hours earlier. Police could be heard calling to him to come out with his hands up. A neighbor told ABC News that the homeowner had discovered Tsarnaev when he saw blood on the outside of his boat and then lifted the cover to find a person inside..... news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/boston-mit-shooting-explosion-suspect-watertown-064355149.html |
