I don't want to see the photos. I'm hearing reports from runners who were coming to the finish line of multiple limbs lying about.

Mike will probably be able to give us more info, if he isn't called in/working already.

That one pic there is definitely a leg missing.wow

My brother works for code enforcement for the city and was stationed at the finish line. Luckily they left about a half hour before this happened, but I still had to give him a call to make sure he was alright. It looks awful on TV. There is blood all over Boylston st and eye witnesses are saying people were missing body parts. Pretty insane right now.

stay safe dude. fuckin crazy.

I had just woken up from a nap since I got out of work at 8:00 am. My brother was going to call me to meet up and go get some drinks and then I turn on the news and see this. My heart sank and I called him as fast as I could. At the time he was coming home from work and hadn't even heard about it yet. He's pretty shaken up right now though thinking about what happened since he was stationed there all morning. Just surreal to think about.

Yea thats a crazy picture with the blood everywhere and people missing limbs in those pics.

Sometimes when there isnt big news I always wonder to myself how quiet its been and when is the next "thing".

Well,here we are.

This feels like an insider (American's work) not an international terrorist type plot.

I hope everyone is alright.

Same to you Mike.

I have a lot of friends and family that live there but not sure if anyone is that close to downtown.

[DRiccio21]

now NY Post saying possibly as many as 12 dead. lots of speculation
