  • Boston marathon bombing
     OP - April 15, 2013, 08:05 PM



    Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon race have left an unknown number of people injured.

    Video and photographs from Boston show a scene of confusion, with emergency services descending on the scene and bloodied spectators being taken to a medical tent.

    "There are a lot of people down," said one runner quoted by AP news agency.

    The incident reportedly came about three hours after the winners crossed the line.

    AP said there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the bridge that marks the finish line. Another loud explosion could be heard a few seconds later.

    Smoke rose from the blasts, fluttering through the national flags lining the route of the world's oldest and most prestigious marathon. TV helicopter footage showed blood staining the pavement in the popular shopping and tourist area known as the Back Bay.

    "There was an explosion, police, fire and EMS are on the scene. We have no indication of how many people are injured," spokeswoman for the Boston Police Department said.

    Mike Mitchell of Vancouver, Canada, a runner who had finished the race said he was looking back at the finish line and saw a "massive explosion."

    Smoke rose 50ft (15m) in the air, he told Reuters news agency, and people began running away and screaming after hearing the noise.

    "Everybody freaked out," he said.

    Stragglers heading for the finish line were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts as the scene was locked down.

    The Eastern Massachusetts branch of the Red Cross has set up a disaster response centre in the area.

    The Boston Marathon is one of the biggest annual athletic events in the United States, attracting a large field of runners and tens of thousands of spectators.

    I haven't heard anything yet, just waiting for word....so sick to my stomach right now.   Cry

    How ironic, last September I was hugging my sister after her marathon and she was spitting nails over the fact she didn't qualify for Boston by literally seconds.  

    Now, it has a whole different wisdom behind it.  The bomb went off around 4:09, and her finish time last year was 3:44.  considering the hills that Boston has to offer that would have EASILY been her pace for finishing.

    Terrifying.  

    Those poor people.  I can not even imagine the agony.

    It's hard to see what other motivation could be behind it(political extremism, possible but unlikely). Couldn't help immediately assuming it was related. Some news reports claim the devices used were similar to those used as improvised explosives against foreign troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
    Sickening, words can't adequately describe it.

    no Utterly horrible

    Am I the only one holding my breath, hoping this isnt related to islam. Is it wrong to say so? I feel icky about saying it, but I cant be the only one who is thinking it.  


    Don't feel bad.  I've just seen a few people on fb suggesting that it might be an Irish Republican group.  Personally, I think its extremely unlikely that any Irish group would bomb Boston of all places, but the mere suggestion made me shudder.

    Innocent Irish people who hated the IRA were sadly abused quite often in the UK during the 1970's and 1980's  after IRA atrocities. Muslims and other communities like Sikhs sometimes experienced hostility after 9/11 and other situations. Not wrong to acknowledge that, stuff like this has many different aftershocks.

    I think everyone who has brown skin must have felt some form of backlash from 9/11.
