Agreed - likely a domestic terrorist. Some people are just MESSED. JUST MESSED.

Can't help but feel that this is another nut job domestic case. Horrible sad news.

Pretty surreal if you look at the vine video. One guy just rushes towards it without so much as a pause.

You need like a 3:15 time to qualify (depending on age, I guess), so I'd guess a lot would be finished.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone injured and uninjured over there. Horrible event.

My guess is a home-grown terrorist for political reasons. The U.S. has been extremely lucky in not having a major incident in recent years - I believe this one is going to be one of those who slipped through the cracks.

Thankfully, the one person I knew that was running in the marathon is safe. My heart (albeit cold like a stone) goes out to those injured and affected by the explosions (now at 3).

The 3rd reported explosion was a controlled blast by Boston PD (before too many people get (even more) worked up)

Explosions at the Boston Marathon. Don't that the FBI has been behind virtually every domestic terror plot in the US, as NY Times reported.

Really? Damn, but if following any of these stories has taught me anything is never believe the fatality count until at least 24 hours has passed. Hope that's not true.

Security stepped up in DC as well.

What a horrible story. There's always such a great atmosphere at the Boston Marathon. It was always my favorite day of the year when I lived there.

I am confused.

Anyway, this sucks, it just really sucks, that all I can say.

It just sucks.

It was a Building 7, World Trade Center crack. Just like the False Flag morons use to say that terrorist attack was staged.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of injured? My Dad was at the finish line waiting for my Mum. Mum is fine but she can't find my dad. Please advise.
