Just got a text from a friend who runs this every year and she's saying multiple fatalities and some people had limbs blown off. Also, hearing something may have happened at one of the local hotels.

Dual explosions were new 20 years ago when I lived in the Middle East but SOP now. Something about this time of year. Ruby Ridge. Oklahoma City Branch Davidians.

Sounding like they've found quite a few secondary devices that were unexploded and are doing controlled explosions now. Boston PD is saying 2 dead, 23 injured. Could have been much worse if the other devices had detonated properly.

Agreed. It's fortunate that the second explosion wasn't across the street. Makes me think there are more devices that didn't go off

This thing could have been a whole lot worse. Apparently they immediately jammed cell phone frequencies in the area which would prevent cell phone detonation

Liberal media will blame a NRA member for this attack. I guess Al Qaeda may not be as dead as Obama has stated..

PA might answer that. Not sure what frequencies they use. I would say yes because they probably jammed the spectrum.

Could people possibly wait until we know what happened before acting like idiots and having a pissing contest over who can blame who first? Act like freaking adults for once.

A pic from the Boston Globe Sports Twitter feed of the immediate reaction of the police on the scene. It never ceases to amaze me that people have the initial instinct to run toward something like this instead of away from it.
