Possible explosion at the finish line for the Boston Marathon?

Thanks for all the updates, Crankin. It's much appreciated.

Thanks for the updates, Crankin. Very difficult to wait for reports of each person I know personally or through the interwebs.

Now that I know they're safe, that was one of the first things that crossed my mind. :(

You're welcome.
Ack, they just found 2 more bombs, which are being water bombed.

As often happens after a disaster the phone network may be congested as everyone calls at once or tries to. So we might not know for a while. :(

Suggestion is if you know anyone at the site check facebook, or ask them to log in here and report in.

Glad they are ok. My prayers are being sent to everyone effected by this.

Thanks for updating Crankin. My thoughts are with everyone affected.

we are fine, on our way out of town. thanks for thinking of.us. I was half a mile from the finish and DH luckily was away from where it happened. what an awful thing.

I just heard a report on NPR and learned that there are fatalities. I didn't pick that up earlier. It's just sickening.

thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families.

So glad you are safe! I was tracking you and was hoping you were far enough away to not get caught in it. Thoughts and prayers for all of the victims and their families. How can someone even consider doing something like this !?!?!
