Was NOT them - they just passed us at the 38K mark after the explosion, shortly before they closed the course. I was finished much earlier, before the explosions.

boston globe reporting >100 being treated. no details on severity. The wall st journal has a live stream from twitter/ other sources that is very useful.

Thoughts & prayers to all ST'rs up there.

Thoughts on being an Urban Triathlete

I'm pretty sure the video I watched that showed one of the explosions showed a race clock at 4:09.

this is good... secondary and tertiary devices can be command detonated by cell phone

it seems to me that this happened between 4:45 and 4:50 into the race, yes?

Finish line clock showed 4:09. I'm assuming that's from the start of the normal race (not the elites).

I miss YaHey

I was afraid of this... I heard the two dead quote but then after seeing the blast on video and the post blast pics of all the blood on the ground I was fearful it would be much worse. thoughts and prayers.

Based on the video posted, it happened at 4:09:44 into the race.

Pics/vid from the blast show 4:09 on the race clock. Probably still a few thousand people on the course, and the finish line had a lot of people crossing during the blast. At least a couple of those runners looked like that had, at the least, minor injuries.

Yes, I know it's grammatically incorrect. Blame AOL and their 90s-era character limits.

Mine and my wife's phones are working again, so the shutdown's probably lifted at least for the outer communities.

Don't know if they're Slowtwitchers, but all of the members of Team Rev3 that were out there (Jordan, Chris, Lauren, and Eric) all are safe. Trying to track down the last of people from Maine.

I was at a bar in Newton post race and it came across the news at exactly 3pm Boston time. So probably happened 5 or 10 minutes before that.

So 4:15 into the race for the wave 2 starters and a little under 4 hours into the race for the wave 3 starters.

Wow, so that means 2:09pm local time, took a little while to get across the news then.

Authorities ID suspect as Saudi national in marathon bombings, under guard at Boston hospital

i took a screenshot of that headline, including the whole top of the fold, which included an ad that said, "reputation alert: see what people are saying about your business." the nypost is going waaaay out on a limb here, with everything it's reporting as of now. it sure better be right, or else that ad will be ironic.

I'd say it was almost right at 2:50pm, local time. I looked at my watch a minute or so before it happened. I believe the clock (that everyone is wondering about) was adjusted to the 10:40 wave start. If you went out at 10:40, then you were roughly 4:09-4:10 into the race.

CNN just disputed this report and quoted a Boston official as saying "We don't know where they got that report."

Again, take the NYP for what it is worth.
