Re: Two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon
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.

Re: Two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon
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.

Re: Two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon
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.
