Laaloo Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 BOSTON (AP) — Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon have resulted in injuries. Bloody spectators were being carried Monday to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. Police wove through competitors as they ran back toward the course. "There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding. About three hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another explosion could be heard a few seconds later. http://news.yahoo.com/two-explosions-boston-marathon-finish-line-190259876--spt.html

Lurker Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Arre yaar ye apna PK aaj kal fitness ke chakkar mein para rehta hai. Hope he wasn't taking part. This. Maybe he was the one who caused it :winky: Seriously though, hope all is well with him, and others. Very surprising too. Wonder whats the reason for this?
Texy Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Don't want to speculate but remember 2 of the planes involved in 9/11 originated from Boston.
