Large Explosions Reported At Boston Marathon; Numerous Injuries And Casualties
North Korea's daily war bluffs may be (rightfully) ignored by the market, but an unexpected and tragic development comes out of Boston, where local media reports of two explosions and numerous injuries:
- AT LEAST 12 INJURED IN BOSTON MARATHON BLAST: BOSTON HERALD
- BOSTON BLAST SEEM CENTERED IN `TRASH CAN': BOSTON HERALD
- CNN CITES SOURCE ON REPORTS OF DEVICE AT BOSTON MANDARIN HOTEL
- AT LEAST 3 DEAD AT BOSTON MARATHON, FOX NEWS CITES SOURCE
- BOSTON POLICE SAY "SECONDARY DEVICES" ARE STILL BEING FOUND
Where the blasts occurred, via the WSJ:
What happened:
According to the NY Post there are at 12 casualties so far, although according to the Boston PD 2 are dead and 22 are hurt.
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.
A more credible report comes from Reuters:
Two explosions hit the Boston Marathon as runners crossed the finish line on Monday, killing at least two people and injuring 23 on a day when tens of thousands of people pack the streets to watch one of the world's best known marathons.
Boston police also reported another explosion at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, which is three miles from the marathon's finishing line.
"We are not certain that these incidents are related, but we are treating them as if they are," Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis told a news conference.
Boston police said two people were killed and 23 injured in the explosions on the marathon scene.
Two high-level U.S. law enforcement officials said one or more bombs were responsible for the explosions.
"It sounded like a sonic boom. I haven't stopped shaking yet," said Melissa Stanley, who watched her daughter cross the finish line four minutes before the explosions.
A fireball rose from behind spectators and a row of flags, video posted on the New York Post website showed. Other pictures showed blood stains on the ground and several people knocked down.
Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 19 victims of the explosion in its emergency room, six of them in critical condition, a spokeswoman said.
Witnesses said two explosions hit as spectators were cheering on people finishing the Boston Marathon, which was first run in 1897.
Reporters in the media center heard two blasts.
Mike Mitchell of Vancouver, Canada, a runner who had finished the race, said he was looking back at the finish line and saw a "massive explosion."
Smoke rose 50 feet in the air, Mitchell said. People began running and screaming after hearing the noise, Mitchell said.
"Everybody freaked out," Mitchell said.
Ambulances, fire trucks and dozens of police vehicles converged at the finish line.
U.S. President Barack Obama was notified and directed his administration to provide whatever assistance was necessary, the White House said. Obama was being briefed by Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco and other staff, the White House said.
Authorities tightened security in Washington and New York.
"Blood everywhere, victims carried out on stretchers. I saw someone lose their leg, people are crying," the Boston Globe's Steve Silva reported from the scene, the Globe said on Twitter.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators typically line the 26.2 mile race course, with the heaviest crowds near the finish line. The blasts occurred more than five hours after the start of the race, at a time when most top athletes were off the course but slower amateur marathoners were still running.
The transit agency shut down all service to the area, citing police activity.
Ambulances arrived on the scene within minutes and runners and spectators could be seen crying and consoling each other.
The Boston Marathon has been held on Patriots Day, the third Monday of April, since 1897. The event, which starts in Hopkinton, Massachusetts and ends Boston's Copley Square, attracts an estimated half-million spectators and some 20,000 participants every year.
Earlier on Monday, Ethiopia's Lelisa Desisa and Kenya's Rita Jeptoo won the men's and women's events, continuing African runners' dominance in the sport.

When will they pull barry x from the crack pipe and reggie love's asshole for a ridiculous revival meeting teleprompter session in front of the bobble headed fellow traveling Fifth Columnists?
Here comes the mandatory Police press conference. I'll be changing the channel. There's enough cop shows on TV as it is.
Two more devices found. Being dismantled. (CBS Boston reports)
Mass General Hospital is in lockdown; no one in or out, as there is an 'external threat' of an attack (CBS News Boston reports)
Who was in charge of security for this event?
Mass. Nat Guard has been used in a support role for security in the past. I wonder if they were there this year or if they were pulled off.
http://www.dvidshub.net/image/907146/117th-boston-marathon#.UWxnTLVtgrU
Yep Mass Nat Guard there again this year

Probably some Israeli security company...like on 9/11 and the Amsterdam airport during the era of the underware bomber.
The bastards might be changing their tactics; too many people are on to their psycho ways of False flags. Still waiting to see who they name as suspects.
The Oathkeepers are just up the road having a patriotic rally, so it's obvious they are the perpetrators. Great opportunity for DhS to use on eof those new tanks to kill all of them at one time.
usa .gov bombing usa citizens again. are you tired of this shit, yet?
the bottom half of the class will be called upon to turn the usa into a total police state from cameras and listening devices, to biometric scanners, to internet censorship, to registering ammunition purchases, to checkpoints and searches, to random identity checks on the street............
BBC reporting all mobile cellular signals have been cut; the obviously suspect IEDs.
That was quicker than I thought.
Anyone in the area should remain vigilant.
The Banksters are angry today.
DHs however, is throwing a party.
'What the hell else could they be,' said a federal official when questioned whether the explosions were bombs (CBS TV Boston reports).
Also reporting that one of the two other devices found was under the grandstand.
dollar is falling against the yen...
marshal law anyone ?
I am the marshal. It's martial law. Sorry I wrote the same as you last week.
I get it. We need more drones to keep us safe.
Not to take away from the personal tragedy....
But meanwhile in the middle east our government continues to drop bombs directly and through proxies (and drones) with hardly a comment or whisper.
Just carry on people...
Was Marvin Bush running security at the event?
And those douche bags in D.C. want to take our guns away? They should be put on garbage detail in Boston for the rest of the year!
The bankers need something to distract the masses away from the metals market so they can buy back physical on the cheap.
At the same time, they are selling stocks to any muppet pensions and institutions who automatically buy every day, rain or shine.
Patriots day by the finish line of the Marathon is the absolute height of security in Boston.
So there you go.
Federal officials report that the two unexploded devices now being dismantled were found in trash cans, reports CBS TV Boston.
Also referring to the devices as 'home made bombs'.

Still waiting for the SPLC to tell the government to tell us who is responsible.
The kosher scripts have been written, edited and distributed.
Just like the left's disappointment when the Texas legal staff murders were not right wing aryans, or when David Corn put a turd of an altered transcript of an illegally recorded unsensational campaign meeting discussing the well known and documented psychological failings of Ms. Judd, the leftist sheeple will be so much disappointed with this not being a right winger consistent with Big Sis' religious profile of right winger violence. So much. Disappoint. Ment.
And yet, the facts will be discarded here just as quickly and the left will pound the airwaves with innuendo, lies, propoganda, and repetition that the circle really is a square. It'll be all they can do to distract from the slowly collapsing economy around them. SQUIRREL!
Bring on the metanoia, bitchez.
BBC reporting 3rd explosion at JFK Library.
Guess the gun grab wasn't going too well.
Time to ramp it up.
How long you think it took Skeeter, Butch, and Billy to plant those babies last night?
Musta been Iranians I'll bet....
No I seen him, he was streakin right there at the finish line, bomb strapped to his ankle. He dove straight into the stands and detonated hisself w/ about $10 trillion in derivatives, what a mess he left behind and who gonna pay to clean that up.
JFK library has been confirmed as a fire caused by an incendiary device; Boston Police scanners state that a third explosion was a controlled one. [Via Reddit]
I commented up-thread that these could have been accidental, so you can assume I've no competence in commenting on this; however, if they are deliberate, total amateur hour stuff.
ABC news just mentioned Patriots day, Waco, Oklahoma.....
For quick reference, this was Oklahoma.
The two are light-years apart, please don't let your media run riot with fear.
Surveillance photos from the area show a man carrying back packs shortly before the explosions, says CBS reporter Bob Ore's contacts among federal investigators.
Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just passing on the live TV report from Boston.

Now it says after being changed in the last few minutes (ya gotta love how they do that fast editing) and are you ready for it,
"Authorities have a identified a suspect, a Saudi national, who is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital with shrapnel wounds."
Whoops! There it issss....
They work cheap.
Even cheaper by the dozen . . .
i can't wait until the amoured personnel carriers are roaming the streets and we're all "safe" again
A bomb goes off in Boston library... The building is on fire...
The "JFK" Library. Yep, looks like Obama will be blaming it on the right. Marxist takeover imminent.
Earlier I went outside to mow the grass. Took about an hour. Came back to all this ugly news.
Things sure happen suddenly now, and always to a certain party's advantage. Every time.
People are getting wise, they had better have some evidence for whatever they claim happened here.
No time, we must push through both the Immigration and Gun Control legislation, post haste.
More money for Homland Security, whatever it takes, and more drones too. Take the guns and gunpowder away too, check eveyone and record whatever is said. We have to solve this problem even if it means giving up our freedoms. Never forget, but build a new Reichst.....I mean, JFK library.
damned sequestor, we're no longer safe
"People are getting wise, they had better have some evidence for whatever they claim happened here."
Lone nut. Catatonic state. Plead guilty. No cameras. Court appointed lawyer. No trial. Autographed picture of Sirhan Sirhan found in journal along with anthrax note. "Death to American and Israeli marathoners". All security videotape covered in chicken gravy and fed to K-9. No one is to blame. Medals for all security personnel in Eastern Massachusetts. Straight from hospital to supermax in Idaho. See CNN for further details.

I guess they should have gone for "ball-bearing control" instead of firearms. hujel
Boston is in lockdown mode. Stay in your room.
If it's known in advance when the winners will cross the finish line, plus or minus five minutes, why explode the bombs two and a half hours later when all the VIPs and most of the spectators have left? It's like terrorists lack the brains to program a VCR.
it was still running on north korean time........but chinese made with taiwanese parts sold in an egyptian bizarre...the plot thickens, stay tuned. somehow an islamic bird flu epidemic needs to be threaded into story so drones can be deployed to defend against invading islamic flying chickens with the flu
They were trying to minimize casualties?
BTW in order to run in the Boston Marathon, contestants have to have run a certified marathon in less than 3 hours. When the bombs went off, the race was 4 hours old and 5,000 runners were still on the course. The only people around the finish line were family members waiting for their runner.
4 hours into run blast site targets;
population; credible targets 0
population; sheeple (everybody)
if the wolf only picks off a few sheep at a time the herd will remain together night after night, if the wolf goes charging into the centre and goes full blitzer on them they scatter, never to be seen again
Governor Patrick press conference now; refers to 'horrific attack on Boston'.
Ed Davis Boston Police Commissioner speaking now. There has been a 'third incident', an 'explosion at the JFK library'.
Recommend people stay home. Advise hotel guests to stay in their rooms. Recommend do not congregate in large crowds.
Says to call:
617 635 4500 for family inquiries
1800494TIPS to provide any useful information that may assist investigation and prosecutions
Gee, perhaps we can't just bop around the world droning people and not have any repercussions at home.
You are so correct. I guess that the chickens have come home roost and to bomb us back.
Just the other day the US killed 10 children in Afghanistan while trying to get at an "insurgent" who had the timidity to fight the great and glorious US military which is occupying and killing his people and county.
hujel
JFK explosion was about half an hour ago. All incidents are being treated as linked.
Dear Citizens,
To protect the children we will be installing full body scanners on every corner.
Fuck You,
Big Sis
Governor requests people go home, do not gather in crowds, hotel guests should return to their rooms.
I suggest to not live near cities and stay away from crowds, and not just after things like this happen.
Next briefing due at 7pm
Third explosion at JFK Library; ALL Boston cell phone activity shut down to "prevent remote triggering of other devices"
Bombs built to hurt as few (local) as possible, (BPD) as opposed to taking out hundreds(mass).......kind of odd for terrorists to be so considerate....ya think? FF?
It's a bunch easier/cheaper to build a small bomb, or a few small bombs, than a big one. A lot less conspicuous also.
The cynic within me suggests that whenever a middle eastern person attempts to bomb a US target, the FBI has usually provided the materials, made sure their IQ is under 70 and it usually fizzles. (New York guy sitting in a car surrounded by gasoline; that harbor with fake Semtex and so on). Whoever did this was horribly incompetent, given the potential death toll.
Naive want-to-be Jihadist or fall guy, this certainly wasn't one of the "pro cells" you hear about operating out of Libya / Syria etc. And yes, the loss of life / injuries are tragic, but take another look at the opposite side of the street, and those people in yellow jumpers herding the runners. They'd have been jam if the bombs were made of the right stuff.
"Keep Calm and Carry On"; sadly, that's not how America works.
You are not the only cynic...
All cell phone services shut down in central Boston as a precaution to prevent detonation of devices, CBS TV Boston confirms just now.
ny media reports saudi national suspect, wounded, under guard in hospital.
really looking forward to my trip to NYC tomorrow morning...TSA should be out in full force, with intent to grope
They will blame this on the Sequester
where oh where is media city going to set up their tents for the next two weeks of exhaustive analysis?
hope the trash cans are plastic
Drudge is reporting that a "Saudi" is under guard at a local hospital
quick we need to close the air space down so all the saudi princes can flee the country immediately, wait what year is this again ? having a flashback
Fuck You Saudi Arabia!
saudi's got their own problems, oil is diving
News report: 20 year old Saudi national being held a Boston hospital.
Its all faked for the new war on the Saudi's.
Just like Spain before the communists tried to take over before the civil war. So, what exactly are Obummer's political affiliations?
Be on the lookout for the communist terror teams... and don't panic, just find them. You might ask Obama what his next targets are. It is time for people to not be afraid and realize where the source of terror really is coming from.
CBS TV Boston update:
At least 46 injured
2 dead
another news conference due at 5.30pm
6 critically injured.
...and rising, sadly. Critical injury count is now 8.
State Police and National Guard are now fully deployed.
Logan Airport is open, but security is being upgraded, so there may be delayed flights.
Obama will say that this just shows how we need more money (e.g. tax increases on the wealthy) to pay the heroic first responders (and fund their feather bed pensions).
No focus will be on stopping the fuckard that did this getting into the country in the first place. Can't believe they picked up a Saudi stooge in less than two hours - so transparent.
Did the stooge have a Al-Queda flag draped around him? Sounds fishy.
WAIT - It was because of the anti-muhammad video that this happened - that's the ticket....
No terrorism here - where is OBUMMER anyways - I can't believe he isn't in front of the camera by now. He is probably under his desk.
Hold onto your wallets.
O'bomba was due to give a public statement at about 5.30pm, says CBS TV Boston.
I'm surprised he wasn't still on a golf course somewhere....

What does that mean?! Are they molesting even more passengers than normal?! hujel
I’m glad I don’t watch T.V. I just can’t stomach listening to any more of the puppet-crap government controlled media hyping, and misdirecting so the Global Criminals can hose us over and destroy our once great country because of more of their staged violence.

Prime suspects - senior members - Council On Foreign Relations -[Set up by British intelligence in 1921 with the help of the Rockefellers]
Bingo! We have a winner here folks.
The Rockefellers were the oligarch frontmen of the archoligarchs, the Rothschilds. British Intelligence has been subservient to this family from the middle of the 19th century onwards. So really it was just the Rotchchilds all along.

Amen
Sad for the dead and injured, but this distraction seems suspiciously timed. If we've been taught anything the past few years, we cannot trust what we think we know.
Not really bombing the Boston Marathon was probably the primary objective here, the gold market take down looks to be coincidental in relation to this. This whole thing seems too amateurish in the way it was done. Obama and the boys will use this to justify militarizing the DHS even more if anything. You know to protect us from angry 20 something year olds who hate this country. The white ones here living in their parents basements out of work quietly seething who hate the country because ass raping they are taking by this country. Obama always uses the bait and switch technique blame it on the brown ones but really want to crush the white ones.
Even 9/11 was amateurish. Just complicated enough to fool the stupid ones, sloppy enough to let the smart ones know they did it and there's nothing anyone can do to stop them.
Brilliant, actually. On the level of a Hannibal Lecter.
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/authorities_under_suspect_guard_y2...
Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.
Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.
It was not immediately clear why the man was hospitalized and whether he was injured in the attack or in his apprehension.
The man was caught less than two hours after the 2:50 p.m. bombing on the finish line of the race, in the heart of Boston.
Possibly apprehended in or near the JFK Presidential Library where an explosion ignited a fire at about 4.30pm.
The library was unexpectedly quiet due to the cancellation of an event earlier in the day.
About half hour ago, a CBS reporter at the scene said there are many secret service agents and other federal agencies at the JFK library.
All questions are being referred to the Library Director, and departing staff refuse to comment. Severe fire damage to an area of about 30 x 30 feet.
Was he in the six-floor window or atop the grassy-knoll?! hujel
Whoa!
It only took how long for this to come out? Talk about mass-mind reporting!
Boston marathon bombing happened on same day as 'controlled explosion' drill by Boston bomb squad:

NO damn it look here! NOT over there, stop it!
So... where was homeland security in all this? I guess this just proves we don't have enough security!! Time to give up more rights and fix that unemployment problem by giving everyone uniforms and a walky to patrol the streets 24/7 with full stop and frisk authority... over anyone not riding in a luxary vehicle or skin tone other than white.
They were out counting their bullets.
Big Sis: "Damn bombing! Now I've got to start over. One, two, three..." hujel
A JFK Library spokesman says a fire alarm went off about 3pm, and the building was evacuated. There were no injuries.
Federal agents at the scene including secret service are extending the perimeter around the library at the moment.
Fire was in a wing of mostly offices built about two years ago; extensive damage over about 30 x 30 ft.
It will be interesting to find out what was 'lost'.
Fires along with bombings are so convenient.
Is the Library in Wing #7, by chance?
ATF agents are present at several local hospitals.
Not surprising since this is increasingly looking like a bunch of first timers, chances are they also got hurt in the process not knowing how to properly blow shit up and set things on fire. Hospitals are great places to catch perpetrators and gather intel also by talking to victims being treated.
"Hospitals are great places to catch perpetrators and gather intel also by talking to victims being treated."
You mean like Parkland hospital?
Shouldn't they be at several FBI offices looking for the perps?! hujel

The Sequester will now have to be suspended to spend that money on security. Presto, GDP.
Rich Shertenlieb of 98.5 The Sports Hub giving interview to CBS TV Boston. Describes explosions going off outside his apartment building. He grabbed his children aged 2 and 5 and his wife and they tried to leave. They found bloodied people in the building foyer who had been blown through the window from the force of the explosion. He's now safely at a friend's home nearby.
He describes 'heroes', strangers running to help the injured immediately, despite the clear and present danger.
Tufts Medical Center has been evacuated.
CBS TV News says there is no confirmation of the new york post story which claims a Saudi is under arrest regarding the explosions.
NYP is total garbage, and is merely looking for page views. It was earlier reporting over 20 people killed.
Don't give it traffic.
the only good reporter they had/have is michael gray
Fair point, Aurora. I was just passing on the CBS Boston reaction to the nypost story.
"NYP is total garbage, and is merely looking for page views. It was earlier reporting over 20 people killed."
Yes, true that. But it is also a prime example of SOMEONE that is in cahoots with this evil having pre-knowledge written up, as if to blend in with the drills that were happening in synch with this False Flag Event performed as always to spin the coming dredgerous news-week babbling banterisms, on a Monday.
Oh, that was all so hard to figure out. Look how fast the mass mind solved the crime for the babylonian LE wasting taxpayers money on the spin cycles and rope-a-dope theehatricks.

TUFTS MEDICAL CENTER: SAUDI SUSPECTBy Staff, RYOT News
The New York Post broke the news that Boston investigators have a 20-year old Saudi Arabian person of interest in the two Boston Marathon bombings in custody. He is being held under guard at an undisclosed hospital location with severe burns, indicating that he was injured during the blast before he being apprehended.
Boston 7 News is reporting that Tufts Medical Center has been evacuated and the person of interest is at that hospital. Tufts confirmed via Twitter that the hospital has been evacuated.
The man was caught just before 5 pm EST, less than two hours after the bombings.
CBS News has also reported that the Boston police have surveillance video of an individual bringing multiple backpacks to the blast site near the finish line on Boylston St.
Law enforcement has confirmed that at least 2 people were killed and sources are estimating that over 100 were injured in the blast.
Back ground checks and magazine sizes is what the “sheeple” want to talk about. Pretty much will (always does) boil down to Good vs. Evil. There aren’t many laws that can do away with evil. Wish there was… but. Innocent death is the ugliest of evils. Not sure if we could (all) handle the truth. Maybe it’s better, that as many are in the dark about reality are there is. Surly the “my back yard” syndrome is getting closer to us all.
But is it evil if it's retribution for what the US has done to millions overseas, and at home?!
Now that is the question. hujel
The 1st post asked, "False Flag?"
Well... consider the witness and read the last line of the article...

What's his agenda?
fucking fascist government, who else
This event has been loaded with security since 9/11. I'd expect dogs of all kinds. X-ray machines, HAARP, you name it. Every agency is there, including ones you don't know about. I'm sure they use the event to train people as well.
Even with the best event security the nation has to offer, two "home-made" bombs went off and people died.
Remember, they've already taken away the bill of rights.
Bicycle,
You are right and wrong. Those "security" measures are for the elites. The elites had left so no more need.
Like the airports. They get all touchy-feely and such and create a huge jam of people that, if anyone remembers the 70's and 80's, creates a prime concentration of people for machine gunning and bombing.
Money and power, Control and oppression. We produce so that may live. hujel
Right after the bombing, police set up a cordon on the Mass. Ave. bridge a 1/4 mile from the finish. Their job was to tell the 5,000 runners still running that the race was over and to get off the road.
Anyone got video tape of that?
CNN calling it a terror attack
That is a CNN call, and they are not authorized to do so.
Fuck you, Wolf Blitzer.
It was likely Latino and Islamic immigrants. We need to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here. The best option is to send them back to Africa/Mexico/Arabia and then keep them safe with drone patrolls and special international police units...
I wonder how many of Obama's 40 million on foodstamps committed suicide this day, and how many froze to death over winter, for lack of money to pay the fuel bills. In a country of 350,000,000 with 8,500 gang related murders a year, or 1 every hour or so, this story is not newsworthy.
Boston Mayor now giving news conference; says he spoke to Prez half an hour ago.

Governor Patrick more forthright: repeats request for people to go home; says security at hotels has been prioritised by the police commissioner; advises hotel guests to stay in their rooms;
Says federal and state services are fully coordinated, and the explosion area is being treated as a crime scene for at least 15 blocks for at least 24 hours.
Device at the JFK Library is now being treated as SEPARATE from the explosions at the marathon.
These were 'powerful devices', but 'it is too early' to describe them.
