[HeavyPetter]

Uggh, this sucks from a logistical standpoint for anyone trying to get out of the city today. Thank goodness the Sox have already played today.

MBTA Service update: Service Update: All B- and C-Line service temporarily suspended.

My friend was at the 40K mark around 2:35. Havent heard from her yet.

Explosion was around the 4:00 mark. She was probably at the hotel by then.

i'm sitting at work shaking and trying not to cry. i have way too many friends that are all there right now. this is horrifying.

Any chance this was an accident?

this is what i'm trying to figure out.
where on the clock did this happen?
4:00 from which wave?

Any chance this was an accident?

Two separate explosions a block apart - probably not.

That picture is definitely not of the Fairmont Copley Plaza. There's a CVS across Boylston from the Fairmont.

good news, good news for your friend Dash

Race started at 11:05, that's all I got.

video of the 1st explosion shows a guy in orange going down about 20 feet from the explosion, he must have been hit by a piece of shrapnel or something. I feel sick.

 

[deacvision7]

Any chance this was an accident?

Maybe with one explosion... but two? Would be an incredible coincidence.

4:09:50 on the clock.

 

[deacvision7]

This is just so sickening.

 

[lbE08]

the group of women i know were out of the area about 5min before; all safe.

 

[deacvision7]

5 minutes? I would be shitting myself.
