Two explosions have been reported near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. No information on the cause of explosions yet. Thoughts to those who were in the area or have family in the area.

-- A pair of explosions rocked the finish line at the Boston Marathon on Monday afternoon, injuring at least a half-dozen people, a CNN producer at the scene said.
The blasts occurred a few seconds apart, shrouding downtown Boston's Copley Square in smoke. Paramedics were treating several victims at the scene, and police ordered onlookers to back away from the area, CNN Producer Matt Frucci reported.
The explosions occurred about 2:45 p.m., about an hour after the first runners had crossed the finish line, Frucci said.

Not quite as graphic as OhioState001's image but a video of the first explosion. I didn't want to directly embed so it is up to you to click.

Listening/watching CBS and someone just said there was a third explosion just now. Caller stated police warned her you are about to hear another explosion. Seems to indicate whatever the cause was, people were moved away first.

edit: Police intentionally exploded a third item
