You can see if friends/family were running here: http://www.baa.org/individual.html
-
You can check for runners to see if they finished here:
http://raceday.baa.org/individual.htmlI saw a notice posted that if you are trying to reach family/friends TEXT THEM! It takes up less bandwith and will get through faster with everyone trying to use their phones!
-
@kiddosc: OMG that graphic. It's just too much.
-
this is sooo scary & tragic. i'm in shock, i cannot believe this.
-
I haven't heard anything about friend yet
-
If anyone is looking for up to the minute coverage, Boston.com is doing a good job of it.
-
VP Joe Biden just released a statement calling this a bombing.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Oh no.
Please let us know once you hear back from your friend. Hope he/she is safe!
-
I had no idea this was going on, until I read this post just 5 minutes ago...so sad.
-
The UK media is reporting that a device has been found? I guess that does make it a bombing.
-
@MrsKoala: Thanks.
-
@mrs. bird: @banana: Thank you. Just talked to my mom and everyone is OK. I was PANICKED because I tracked her and she crossed the finish line at 2:34 but I guess they were out of the area within the 15 minutes until the explosion.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: If you've seen the videos, it appears that the runners are all safe, and the spectators are the ones who may have been affected. If your friend runs slower than 4 hours then they are probably away from the finish line. I hope you hear something soon.
-
They're saying 22 people are hurt now. I hope everyone's friends and family are okay! The pictures are horrifying!
@zippylef: About 20 minutes ago I heard that another device was found in a hotel but I haven't seen that since.
And CNN just reported that two people are dead. So sad.
-
@BelugaBean: Yeah, I heard they had found a 2nd device too. That's what the BBC is saying.
-
@MamaMoose: Oh wow. SOOO glad she's ok. I would be panicked too. sigh. Such a sad, sad moment. I can't believe people do this kind of stuff. It's just horrible.
-
devastating.
-
@zippylef: Ball bearings also found.
-
Thank God all of my friends from my running club are fine and accounted for. I'm praying for those of you who haven't heard from friends/family yet.
-
This is devastating. Hope everyone's loved ones are okay.
-
praying for all
grateful my family, friends, and coworkers are safe & accounted for. -
This is so terrible. Prayers for everyone running and watching today. I just don't understand the world we live in sometimes.
-
Yahoo's live feed is saying that police detonated a 3rd device they found? Anyone else hear that somewhere else?
-
She's ok... And she's a fast runner
-
@zippylef: Yeah I've seen news of that going around.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Oh good!! Glad she's ok.
-
My heart was in my throat, one of my mentors from high school ran today, thankfully he and his wife are both ok. Sounds strange, but I'm grateful for the injuries that have been plaguing him so it kept him out of harm's way. Been stalking his facebook page until his daughter updated. Thinking of those affected, can't believe something like this could happen.
-
@highwire: Yeah, DH is a military bomb tech and we've been talking about it. He said the ball bearings are there purely for frag and to do more damage.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Thank God!
-
This makes me sick to my stomach...
Thankfully, my sister (a spectator) was smart enough to text me from a friends phone since her's died. Can't find her friend as a runner though (not in system).
-
@Mrs. Jacks: great news! I was thankful my brother is a super slow runner
-
@zippylef: Oh geez. Ball bearings. Ugh. That just makes me sick to my stomach.
-
@zippylef: they just released a statement "two small homemade bombs"
-
@zippylef: they're also reporting a third but aren't commenting on where it was and how it was set off, apparently the BPD took care of it.
-
They said they're going to give a press conference at 4:30.
-
Just goes to show that you can never let your guard down. It's sad.
-
OMG. So sad. Just heard about this now.
-
My family is ok. My brother was at the scene of the explosion and ran for his life. We were watching 3 miles up the road. I'm still shaking over an hour later.
-
@winniebee: OMG. That just made my heart jump! Glad he's ok!!!!
-
@winniebee: Thank goodness he is ok!
