News just reported 2 dead, 22 injured (most fairly critical) ...and yes agree with 16:04. We do have some world class hospitals here and hopefully they will be able to receive the best care.

Huh? I'm from Boston and watching the news now. Only thing that has been CONFIRMED is that 2 bombs went off. Green line was shut down between Park Street (Downtown) and Kenmore (where Fenway Park is). Some colleges are shutting down and telling students to stay on campus. Police are going to be doing a sweep of trashcans and the area to see if there are any more bombs or any clues.
I think anything other than that is just rumors. Please be respectful on this thread. Obviously cell towers are being over run right now and myself and several of my friends are waiting to hear from friends and loved ones who were at the marathon today.
What if you are wrong and it not rumors. There are reports of secondary devices and the police telling everyone to clear the area.

One silver lining - if such a blast had to occur, Boston is probably a very good place - so many hospitals and medical specialties to deal with all kinds of situations. There is no shortage of doctors and medical staff.

I'm only reporting what I'm hearing on NPR. Thanks for the info. I have a couple of friends there that I can't reach. Don't think they were at the race, but it makes you nervous.

Who is reporting that?
There are pictures right after the blast with a man with at least one of his legs apparently blown off. Very sad.
Oh my god. NPR is now reporting dozens of injuries, including lost limbs, and that they are evacuating the area because they suspect there are other bombs nearby.
I have a sick feeling this is a domestic terrorist. It was well-reported that many of the Sandy Hook families were running the race today and I just can't help but assume that it is related. I really, really hope not.
It's Tax Day. Boston is known for the Original Tea Party. It's one hypothesis, but it's obviously too soon to know.
Marathon Monday is also known as "Patriot's Day" in Boston. It's actually a holiday there.

This is not confirmed. Please do not post rumors - it helps no one. Evacuations are often just to be extra cautious.
If it's a fact, post a source or citation.
