JFK Library was the site of a third incident. Thank goodness many people are off of work today and children are home from school. Press conference says this is on-going, which must be terrifying for people in Boston.
-
@Foodnerd81: I keep finding conflicting reports!
-
Boston.com has a live twitter feed with news bits - uncomfirmed news.
More bombs on esplanade and Harvard MBTA T stop.
Hospitals on watch for susicious deliveries. My husband is working at the hospital.
Phones down still.
Everyone told to stay home.
This is beyond scary.
-
I'm watching CBS live feed now.
-
@winniebee: Oh god, how awful. I'm praying for you and your husband and everyone in Boston!
-
@winniebee: praying for you guys!!
This is terrifying. I'm completely shocked.
-
@winniebee: This must be so scary for you, I hope your husband comes home safe and sound ASAP!
-
@winniebee: praying for you. So scary.
-
just heard they shut down all the cell phone networks to prevent remote detonation.... this is too scary... and it isn't over yet...
-
All our family and friends are checking in and safe. We left Boston today at 3 and heard about it all during our drive home. Ugh
-
@winniebee: stay safe!
This is awful, hope everyone's family and friends are ok!
-
Just heard about a third blast!
-
They've apparently detained a Saudi national as a suspect. Maybe that's where the Al Qaeda talk came from? Who knows if this guy is really even who did it.
-
@zippylef: I don't really trust the Post... but we'll see.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Yeah, thats kind of how I feel too....
-
@zippylef: Who knows... I think they really do have some surveilance tape, so hopefully they do identify a person of interest.
-
@winniebee: Praying for you guys, and all of Boston.
-
This is terrifying.... I hope everyone is able to get in touch with their loved ones in Boston and that they are all ok.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Yeah, I really hope they can find the person quickly, before any more bombs go off.
-
So I was busy at work and missed all of this. Plus, I'm on the west coast. What time was the first bombing?
-
@bluestriped bee: 3 pm EDT
-
@bluestriped bee: I think 2:50pm EST?
-
@Mrs. Jacks: @zippylef: Thanks! Wow!
-
Multiple reports of one suspect being trtreated at Boston hospital.
-
My heart breaks for those affected.
I sincerely hope that if/when they find the perpetrator that they do not plaster his/her face all over the media. He/she deserves no recognition. Keep it anonymous.
-
So scary. Thinking of everyone involved.
@winniebee: Thank goodness you and your fam are okay. Thinking of you.
-
@rahlyrah: unfortunately, that will never happen...
-
@winniebee: You're the first person I thought of when I saw this. So glad you are all ok. I was starting to get worried.
-
@bpcmarj: I know
On a lighter note, NBC is reporting numerous marathon runners that crossed the finish line and continued running to Mass General Hospital to give blood to victims. A bright note of human kindness during the tragedy.
-
Regarding possible suspect.

-
@winniebee: so glad you & your family are safe.
we're near Harvard Sq. - cellphone service is still shut down but my texts are going through.
-
@rahlyrah: Wow, that's incredible.
-
@rachiecakes: you too!
-
What is wrong with people? I wish the media would stop showing the explosions. I am praying for those who are involved and those who know people involved.
-
Thoughts and prayers going out to those in Boston and with loved ones there. This is truely terrifying and sad.
-
My friend was at the blast site and has pictures from 10 minutes before, but started walking home right before the blast.
So thankful she's ok. -
@Lindsay05: They have nothing else to fill the air time with except idle speculation and salacious images
-
@rahlyrah: that's incredible. Reminds me of that Fred Rogers quote, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
-
@rachiecakes: Thinking about you too!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: It should be a crime.
