                In case anyone on the forum knows someone at the Marathon:

                All runners are being asked to go to the Common so they can be accounted for.

                Also, the Red Cross has activated the redcross.org/safeandwell site.

                      During a live press conference the Boston Police Commissioner confirmed a third explosion at the JFK Library, but indicated that no other devices had been found.

                        Separate explosion hits JFK library in Boston - police
                        Police have confirmed a third explosion in Boston. This time at the JFK Library, there have yet been no reports of deaths or injuries. Earlier two devices exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing two people and injuring over two dozen.

                        Boston Police Commissioner says it is so far unclear if the Boston Marathon explosions are related to what is now being called an "incendiary device", at the JFK Library.http://rt.com/usa/library-blast-police-boston-914/

                          Rachel Day, a spokeswoman for the John F. Kennedy Library, located about three miles from the marathon's finish line, said that there was a fire at the library but no one was injured.http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/0...93E0HQ20130415

                              BPD Commissioner Ed Davis says the blast at the JFK Library around 4:30 p.m., which was announced as an unrelated electrical explosion, was actually an explosion that could be related to the explosions on Boylston Street.
