Bombs at the marathon. I have friends running the race, waiting to hear from them. It's a goddam bloodbath on Boylston Street.
It happened right by the bandstands, hard to believe this was an oxygen tank or gas line or manhole explosion, but who knows.
Awful.

Could be a gas explosion but what a coincidence to happen at that time at that place.
