Everyone OK? Boston Marathon.

[KristyHall]

I don't know how many of our BYC friends were involved with this annual Marathon, but there has been two explosions near the finish line. Not much detail is given yet, but at least 20 people are hurt. We're praying for these people and hope to hear from our BYC friends.

Says on the news they are attempting to dismantle two more explosive devices they found. I'm glad they didn't all go off. I hope a dismantled bomb will provide the authorities with enough evidence to figure out who did this. It's pretty hard to watch this unfold, I saw a picture online from a helicopter and you can see the sidewalks absolutely covered in blood.

The number of injured is up to 60, with 3 dead. The sicko who planted the bombs filled them with shotgun shells to make lots of shrapnel... People have lost limbs, and the pictures of the scene are gory. My prayers go out to victims and their families...

My coworker was racing in that today, so I'm really anxious to hear more details. Very tragic and scary!

Based on the video ~ it looks as though few runners were injured, but many spectators were injured or killed.

My chiropractor's wife is also running the race and he was there with her. No one has heard anything about them yet.

My neighbor told me about this, then I saw it on the TV at her house. My cousin ran in it last year. My heart goes out to the people how got injured, and the families who lost their loved ones. I can't imagine who would find satisfaction in this......

I just looked at the news article about it, and saw the pictures.

All the blood in one photo... the blood, the injured people. Just thinking about all the families that lost moms, dads, brothers, sisters, cousins... it makes me cry.

Whoever did this deserves... I won't even start voicing my opinion. I just hope the B***ard that did this feels bad about what he did!
