Bombs explode during Boston Marathon- Suspect Killed, Suspect Caught
« on: April 15, 2013, 02:34:07 pm »
This is basically all I know at the moment. If anyone knows more, please share! I'll update the OP as things progress.

From what I've heard so far, there's plenty of response teams on site already, and it appears to be trashcan bombs of some sort, maybe one in a building as well.

There's at least two explosions, and seem to have come from the Fairmount-Copley hotel.

Confirmed:
Explosion at Fairmont Copley Hotel and a bit further down the street.
3 dead, 23 injured.
One Suspect Killed
On Suspect Captured


News reports:
Initial report 1
Initial report 2
Two more bombs found

Images: (warning, lots of blood in some)

There are injuries, but it doesn't look like any fatalities.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Any reports on that front would be worthless this soon after it happened.

I don't think they've got a motive or suspect yet, no. Too soon.

I've got a photo with someone having lost at least one leg, but it's a bit too much to link.

Here's the explosion as it happened. Even if that's the maximum of the blast radius, that's a big fucking explosive.

I can't find any source on that but maybe no one's written it up yet.

The ultimate sources is Fox News, but the BBC footage certainly seems to be suggesting there are casualties.

Boston Police Scanner, listening in.

EDIT: Oh fuck, if I just heard what I think I heard there are MORE BOMBS. They're preparing a controlled detonation.

No confirmation as of yet on fatalities, but limb loss is reported in a number of cases.

There was "another blast" according to some news networks but it was actually just a water cannon.
