In case you don't know yet, or are looking for information on what has occurred so far, I'm gonna share the information about everything that has happened that I've found on Tumblr so far:
- there were two explosions in copley square near the end of the finish line
- a reliable news channel here reported on a third, controlled explosion, so it was likely that a bomb squad found the explosion and set it off themselves
- the people who run the marathon have called the explosions a bomb, but NOTHING has been confirmed by the police
- 22 people have been injured and 2 people have been confirmed dead— injuries are severe and include loss of limbs in some cases
- yes, there was a fire in a wing of the jfk library that occurred almost immediately after the explosions were set off, but no one knows if they incidents connected yet
- the victims have started arriving at the hospital and are being treated for their injuries now
- the train and most streets are being closed off
- the fbi is on its way to the site of the explosion right now
- the president HAS been notified of the explosion
- if you live in/near boston, please just stay as far away from the explosion site as you can and allow people to do their jobs. if you have family in the area that you’re worried about, call them rather than going down to check on them.
- a reliable feed for those who don’t live in boston can be found here https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to those in Boston. Here are some resources we’ve gathered so far.Do NOT drive through Boston or take the subway right now. The emergency radio is buzzing with more possible bombs. Please spread this everywhere you can to let your friends and family members know. It could save a life.

America's falling apart, and this is a really unfortunate event.

I will update this if I get any further information (even if it turns out to be fake info, I'd rather it be posted just in case. It's better to be safe than sorry) or if I hear of possible threats (whether or not the reports of the threats are accurate, I will post them just in case) or just stuff that seems suspicious.
So, this picture has just been posted on tumblr with the caption "This may be nothing but it’s worth noting and could be very important. I do not mean to call him out but because of his strategic positioning right after the blast and during it, it needs to be noted. This could be very important so spread the word"
I'm not sure what he could have been doing up there, there could be a number of reasons , maybe he was doing security work up there, smoking, just hanging out, whatever, etc, but regardless it is important, I think, to still spread this around just in case he is involved in what happened.
I just found this to be so incredibly creepy.
There's also this picture:
I just thought the above ^ image was interesting, but looking through the notes, I found someone who said that if a page has under 500 likes, you can apparently change the name so I don't know how many likes that page has or what's going on with it so I don't know what to say or think about this.
And for the people who are undoubtedly going to try to and blame what happened on a certain race or religion, please keep in mind:
IF YOU ARE NON-WHITE IN BOSTON PLEASE STAY SAFE

And for the people who are undoubtedly going to try to and blame what happened on a certain race or religion, please keep in mind:
- you do not know the religion of the people who planted these bombs
- you do not know the race of the people who planted these bombs
- you do not know the nationality or the political motives of the people who planted these bombs
- terrorism tries to instill fear and hysteria in people. keep calm
- your political party is NOT relevant right now
"don’t point any fingers until people know what’s going on ok.That being said, The police and news sent out a bolo (be on the look out) on a dark/black skinned man with an accent for the boston marathon suspect.
a few years ago, Norway’s capital was bombed followed by 90+ teenagers slaughtered at a politic summer camp.
what did people do? they all blamed the Muslims. you know who did it? a Christian guy from Norway.
so sit your fucking asses down and stop being racist cunts"
IF YOU ARE NON-WHITE IN BOSTON PLEASE STAY SAFE
Miscellaneous Warnings:
Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, ondriveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in therubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - inabout 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes withenough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out isboiling hot as well.
Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in thegutter, etc.
Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A littlewater. A small piece of foil.Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!!
No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.
Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informedof this. This has been confirmed by Snopes.
