The news images seem surreal.
-
My friend is running!
-
My brother and sister are there. Just talked to my sister. Freaking out over here.
-
OMG how awful.
-
is anyone there?????? my brother should have almost been finishing (he's running). does anyone know if any runners were hurt? i can't get him on the phone. oh god
-
I just turned it out. I haven't heard about injuries yet.
-
Oh no! The explosion happened near the finish line within the last half hour.
-
Oh wow. I ran it in 2009 and 2010, and it is such a huge event. Hope everyone is okay.
-
Apparently there were two explosions.
-
So far we don't know if it was intentional.
-
@mrs. bird: I'll be praying for your brother's safety. Please let us know when you hear from him!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: I hope she is okay.
-
This is terrifying!!! Prayers to those of you with loved ones there
-
@mrs. bird: I'll be praying for him. Based on the location of the explosion it seems to be primarily spectators who were victims. My SIL's brother is there watching his girlfriend run and I don't know yet if they are ok either.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: I'll be praying for your friend as well! Hope she/he is ok!
-
@mrs. bird: Thinking of your brother. Phone lines are probably tied up due to increased traffic once the news spread. I only got through to my sister bc she posted on facebook about it before media got wind and I called immediately.
-
I just read there are 12 injured; some missing limbs; still no idea what it was. This is so sad :o(
-
Praying for all of your loved ones and hoping for the safety of our Boston bees!
-
This reminds me of 9/11
-
OMGosh! I think I know someone that was running! This is terrible! Praying for everyone's friends & family!
-
praying everyone's loved ones are ok!!!
-
@banana: thanks! i just got him on the phone, he's such an ass, i said, 'you're ok!' and he said, 'yeah, i'm running!' and hung up. i don't even know if he knows or where they're sending him. he's passed the 40K mark, so he should be finishing any minute now
-
@mrs. bird: Glad to hear that you got a hold of him. The race is halted near the finish line so I think the police will stop him at some point. They are diverting runners now.
-
@mrs. bird: LOL! So glad he's ok! He may not know what's going on since it happened near the finish line.
-
So sad!
-
@mrs. bird: oh good! They are rerouting the runners, so he should be completely out of harms' way.
-
@mrs. bird: glad your brother is ok. This is so scary
I have lots of friends and co-workers running and watching, just praying they're ok -
@mrs. bird: Glad he's ok. I jsut saw this all over FB from friends there.
-
This is so sad. I hope it was an accident of some kind and not intentional.
-
I'm praying that all of your friends and loved ones are ok.
-
@MamaMoose: i'm so sorry! i hope you get ahold of them soon! so scary
i've never been so thankful he's a slow runner!
-
@MamaMoose: Hope they're ok!!!!
-
This is insane... wow.
-
devastating...so hopeful all my Boston buddies are safe and sound...
-
Horrifying... sending my prayers to those that have family and friends nearby!!!
-
Oh my god.
-
Oh wow!!
I just saw some pretty graphic pictures on Twitter of it, people got legs blown off and are really injured! Hope everyone is okay, no deaths reported so far!
-
This is unbelievable. This image is pretty graphic, there are some real injuries associated with this. So scary that this could happen... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BH6fwFvCUAA-PWb.jpg

Watching the breaking news on TV now. So awful. I hope everyone's friends and family are ok.
-
Yikes. This is so scary and sad.
It is always so confusing in the moments following an incident. Lots of conflicting stories and we don't even know if it was intentional or not.
