    Some Salem runners were coming at about the time of the explosion. Also some doctors from Salem there at finish line. Dang. Wifey is freaking out, she's a 26.2 gal.

    Anyone else see the blood covered sidewalk photos? Highly disturbing.

    I'm reading reports on Twitter that Boston was honoring families of the Newton shooting and one of the bombs that went off was right next to those families.

    Lots of unconfirmed statements in this NYPost article from unnamed sources, like: 1) first explosion occured in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel 2) Authorities ID a suspect in marathon bombings - he is being guarded in Boston hospital. Note: This is all unconfirmed.

    The NY Post seems to have info nobody else does. 12 dead instead of 2, and a suspect? Wonder if they are out front, or just have terrible info.
