Boston Marathon....2 explosions near the finish line

I'm watching the Boston Channel Five news right now. Many people injured....They don't know the cause yet. Many questions. Many injuries, people lost limbs. I'm sending prayers to all of them.

I just saw it...sad

Just saw the news. My prayers go out to all. Such a tragedy.

It appears the police just detonated the third bomb. It makes me ill.

So, so sad! My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones.

I'm following it closely on the news. I've heard from my daughters in Boston and they are both okay -- they were watching the Marathon from another part of the city.

Praying... praying.


Becky - You and family were my first thoughts.
Glad to see that all are okay.

Just got off the phone with my Cousin she lives near there and Thank Goodness she is ok ...yes there are approx. 6 people whos leggs were completely blown off arms ....

My thoughts and prayers are also on the way. This is a very sad day.

Glad to hear loved ones have been accounted for, Becky. As far as I know all of mine are safe too. My second cousin works in Boston but she is safe and the rest of the family weren't there to day....whew! My prayers are going up for those involved and their families. Another very sad day in America.

glad to hear that your family is fine Becky. It makes you wonder, what kind of a world are we living in now, when innocent people that are just out enjoying themselves can be blown away by such sick people. My heart & prayers are with these innocent people.

I just watched this on the news and over 100 people are injured. My prayers go out to everyone.

A beautiful day in Boston for the Marathon and then this horrific act. So sad. Prayers out for all the horribly injured and their families.

So sickening to see this on the news this evening
I hope you and yours are safe and my heart goes out to those caught up in this madness

My prayers also to the families...

So sad

So so sad and horrific. I'm praying for everyone and hoping they catch whoever decided to do this.

prayers to the injured and their families.

what a horrific ,senseless thing....

What a sad ending to what was supposed to be a wonderful day. My thoughts and prayers still going to all the people who have been affected by this horrific act.

Another tragedy and more innocent people hurt and killed. My heart goes out to all those involved. So very sad.

My thoughts exactly, Kaki's Sister,

My prayers and thoughts.

I hope they get whoever did this. Prayers going out to everyone involved.

My thoughts and prayers to all affected by this senseless tragedy.

Do people really not care that much about human life? How senseless is that! I heard on the radio this morning that the Boston Marathon had a special dedication to the Newtown victims this year. Each of the 26 miles of the marathon was dedicated to one of the 26 victims at Newtown. What even makes it more sickening is the family of the Newtown victims were sitting near the finish line to watch the race. As of this morning, nobody knew if any of them were injured. My stomach just turns with this news.

Prayers for healing and strength to those involved in this tragedy.
