Boston Marathon bombing
Two detonated near finish line, one nearJFK library and a fourth that was found and defused.
No solid numbers on casualties yet. Whole country is on lockdown. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/us...-marathon.html |
JFK fire was unrelated, haven't heard an update on the non detonated bomb. Last I heard, 2 dead and 22 severely injured. ABC is saying around 80 people being treated.
This is very tragic, I hope the injured make a speedy recovery. My heart breaks for the 2 dead and the ones who lost limbs. |
Local news is saying 98 injured, including a 3 year-old, and 2 dead, one only eight. There also saying it'll be a miracle if more don't die overnight. Boston PD is searching a parking garage next to Mass General, one of the hospitals the injured were taken to. There's also a story going around that one of the unexploded IEDs was under the bleachers where some of the Newtown survivors were watching the finish line. Really nuts down there right now.
ETA: Police are in Brigham and Women's talking to a "person of interest" according to Fox 25 in Boston. |

Police keep saying that person of interest isn't actually a suspect, and it's more than one person. The death toll rises to 3, with the Boston Globe reporting an updated injured count of 125.

The Mr. Rogers quote and Patton Oswalt's FB post are both amazing and give me hope.
I heard this morning 3 dead (one an 8 year old boy, another a 25-30 year old woman), 20+ in critical condition and 140 injured...I think. New report says there were no unexploded devices, so just the two bombs that went off. |
Doctors at MassGen and B&W are saying current patients are all stable and should make it. Could have been a lot worse, so there's that small comfort.

They got the second guy, took him alive. Bostonians have to be glad it's over with a chance for answers.

Can't imagine it, and then they still got the job done. They deserved the ovations Watertown residents were giving them. Quote:
