12 dead, dozens more injured after two explosions rock Boston marathon finish line

BOSTON
Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.
A federal law-enforcement source told The Post there are at least 12 dead and twice as many injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold.

At the same time CBS TV saying 2 dead and 22 injured

The initial explosion had to be a backpack, similar to Atlanta in 1996. That's my guess.

Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.


A federal law-enforcement source told The Post there are at least 12 dead and twice as many injured.

Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel.

It sounds like a bomb in the hotel and then maybe one outside the hotel. Terrorists like the two bomb routine to get the first responders.

Apparently they have a suspect? Of course these death totals don't match others either, so take it for what it's worth...

Very 9/11 ish. Obviously not in the scale of the attacks, but the confusion and scramble for information feels very familiar.
