Reporting of a 3rd device that was detonated in a controlled device. 2 dead/23 injured. One explosion was right at the finish at around 4:09 race time and the other looked to be 4-6 blocks up the road. Boston news types on the scene said that it happened outside in trash cans.

Feds are saying its clear its a bomb--multiple portable devices--not car bombs

Many "walking wounded" being reported now...

Horrible....

Both of my boys appear to be safe....

I was in the finish chute when the bombs went off, maybe 100 yards from me. Still have not heard from one friend. Prayers to everyone in Boston. Sitting in my hotel, had a bad case of the shakes when I saw the video on TV.

Glad you are safe. I hope folks like you who were close have enough info to share with authorities to catch whoever is responsible.
Honestly, we heard a boom, turned around and saw the second explosion. I feel really sick right now. No word from my friend cervelorider but his girlfriend is safe. Phone service is very spotty now.

My training partner and his neighbors were volunteering at the finish line. He just texted me and they are all ok.

NY Post has a breaking headline that there is a suspect under guard at a Boston hospital.

That is all they have....no details or story. Just a headline.

Prayers said for all people there and those helping to protect and save lives.

One picture I saw shows 3 police officers immediately walking towards the explosion site to help. It reminds me of how brave they are.

THANK YOU!!!

I'm looking down on the area of Huntington and Belvidere (just east of Mass ave) from my hotel room. They're pushing people out of the area and there's suddenly a huge police presence. They're planning a press conf at the Westin, just up the street, but they're definitely driving people west of this area. I'd advise staying clear of this area.

I thought this was a sick joke. This is the farthest thing from my mind when I think about running. That scene reminds me of Iraq. Marathon/Ironman finishing areas are about to change forever.

Is that in addition to the one that they found and detonated after the first two went off?

No doubt....but it is news and out there. People can use their best judgement re: the value. NYP is reporting 12 dead and 50 injured. Most other outlets are reporting 2 dead and 23 injured, but CNN just said the death toll is "rising" but have not put out a new number.

Effing terrorists. What next?
A logistical nightmare for everyone on top of the horror of the injured and dead. What do they do with the runners out of the course still?

One of the videos of the explosions she's runners and I swear the hoyts are right there when it goes off.

There is runner pushing another adult in a jogger but it wasn't clear enough to recognize them.

Anyone else see that?

who's smarter than you're? i'm!

It's not the Hoyts. I'm watching http://boston.cbslocal.com/live-video/ and they said they are people they know.
