"One runner, a Rhode Island state trooper, said he saw at least two dozen people with very serious injuries, including missing limbs."

Yeah, not a lot of good information at this point. Very sad event.

 

[SirFragalot]

I'm assuming that they don't know if it's a domestic or terrorist attack?

 

[mnat]

Nope, nothing solid yet. Ny post is reporting there is a suspect in the hospital but they are also reporting much higher casualty numbers. Authorities are supposed to speak very soon.

 

[SirFragalot]

Also hearing that they are still finding unexploded devices.

 

[mnat]

That appears to be the case.

 

[SirFragalot]

As far as small things to be thankful for at least the medical tent was right there and wasn't part of the explosion so they could quickly respond.

Just watched the press Conference.

Nothing hard yet. They are saying that in the chaos a lot of people dropped many items. They are going through all of these items and if they are suspicious that are blowing them up in a controlled explosion.

There was a third explosion about 30 minutes ago at the JFK Library in Boston. They are unsure of the coincidence yet.

They had no numbers of casualties or injuries nor did they mention any suspects.

They are now saying that the JFK incident was just a fire and not connected with the explosions. But they did find at least two other bombs not detonated...
