I'd wait on speculation....the news reports coming in are all over the place. The director of the JFK library has been quoted saying they just had a fire in a mechanical room, unrelated to whatever happened downtown.

Reports are that a Saudi national is under guard at a hospital and is considered a suspect.

Was not a bomb at the library, just a incendiary device or a plain fire. According to Boston's Police Chief Ed Davis.

2 confirmed dead. 50+ injured. 6 for amputations. Lots of gory pics that I wish I hadn't looked at.
I've been on that part of road many many times. Sad day. Glad to know one of my friends finished and wasn't hurt. |

My God, I feel like I live in a war zone anymore. Living in a town still recovering from the horror of 12/14. There was a large contingent running in Boston today in memory of those lost. Thank goodness they were all OK.
Another friend that lives in Boston had finished running the race, but was very close to one of the explosions. He was OK but said it was a very grim scene.

Somebody said there was ball bearings laying all over or that is what came from the explosion. I don't know how true that is.

They should've banned assault weapons already.
 Ball bearings are commonly used in EIDs. |

On the video of the first explosion, there was an old gentleman runner that fell down right at the finish line but it was a couple seconds after the exp. I wonder if he may have slipped on a ball bearing.

I'm pretty sure he's just exhausted and lucky to be upright in the first place.
