Wow. That is beyond reprehensible.

My thoughts and prayers for the victims and their families.

Apparently timed to go off as the largest pack of finishers come through. From reports most runners finish the Marathon in 3 hours 20 minutes. timing of the explosions was slightly staggered one beyond the finish line and from opposite sides of the street.

That sucks! I'm hoping it turns out to be infrastructure explosions. Gas lines or something.

Damn!

Latest announcement is that police there have found another device.

The real question will be who did it and for what reason..
Considering it's a rather small explosion (relatively speaking) i would think it's not the big bad Al Qaeda... local nut job?

Odds on it'll be both..a local Religion of Peace nut job.

Prayers and thoughts with Boston Pelicans and those running.
