They're saying on the news that some of the injured had limbs hanging off and it was a very gruesome scene. How awful this is.

CBS is reporting that is was not an accident

 

[pjbleek]

one of my high school teachers is the president of the Boston Marathon and he has been working the finish line and he was there (I hope is alright)

My brother was there last night. Thankfully, I just got a text from him saying he's OK.

CBS is reporting the authorities have found another explosive underneath the grandstand at the finish line and also reporting that surveillance cameras showed someone carrying a backpack (and the bombs were placed in trash cans)
