At 2:50PM Eastern time two explosions rocked the finish line at the Boston Marathon. As many as fifty people have been injured, two deaths are confirmed with "severe" injuries @ Mass. General hospital. There is no news as to the origin of the explosions and no groups or individuals have claimed responsibility. The Marathon headquarters has released a statement that "two bombs exploded".
.
That this was a bombing has not been confirmed, but the F.B.I. is headed to the site at this time. A.T.F. and F.B.I. are to release statements in time for tomorrow morning's news shows. There is speculation that news, here on the Left Coast, may have more information regarding this explosion. I should have more information of injuries and any deaths @ 6:30 PM PST. Check back then for more information.
.
Unknown is if it is related or not, there was a fire at the J.F.K. Library in Boston today, too. Check back often I will add information as it comes in.
Thank you.
1:47PM PST Authorities at the site are now stating; this WAS a criminal act NOT a "natural act" or accident, that there were THREE devices (one has been neutralized) and possibly FOUR explosive devices.
more to come
Post News conf. The THIRD explosive device was detonated at the JFK library. I thought that!
Update 4:20PM PST: The most recent numbers of injured are 100. Thankfully the number of dead/fatally injured remains at just two. There are conflicting reports regarding the fire @ the JFK Library. To the best of my ability to discern is that there was an explosion @ the library and it is thought it was the third bombing in Boston.. That is all for now, more as things change.
Thanks, again, for dropping by. Coming later this week will be a personal posting an 'Update on Dan'. Hope you check it out, and please 'Share'.
