Boston Marathon explosions.
Its still early, and the extent of the damage is unknown. But my thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved.

Lots of the witnesses and runners stopped to help apply tourniquets and minor first aid. Not to mention all those who rushed to the hospital to give blood. Heroes, every last one.

News just coming in, the library incident seems to be an unrelated fire. Seems the Saudi nationalists are the number one suspects as of now.

Sad day. It's truly horrible the amount of contempt that some humans can feel for their brothers and sisters.

Why would nationalists blow up the finish line of a marathon? I would think they would go for something bigger or higher profile...
At any rate I only just heard about the 3rd explosion from a post on my News Feed on FB. I was out, finally getting something to eat so I'm not sure what the further developments are. Unbelievable... I'm hoping there aren't more causalities who haven't been announced yet...

Though it is common knowledge that this is the most densely occupated spot on the marathon. The explosion also happened some time after the initial finishers, ensuring a larger number of people close by when the bombs went off

Yeah, just heard about this. Such a horrible thing to happen. As I saw video of the explosions, I immediately thought about the September 11th attacks as it just seemed so similar. My thoughts go out to everyone in Boston. It's sad that you can't even enjoy a marathon anymore. I hope they catch the a**holes who did this.
