Wait I just read up on this, was in class all day, but can someone pinpoint me on what happened? I know 2 bombs were set off, were they underground explosions or did someone throw two off the top of a building and ran?

So far i've read trashcans, that a lot of other unexploded devices were also found in similiar manners.

3 explosions. Two at the finish line of the Marathon, and 1 at the JFK Library in Dorchester.

Here we go, I hope this does not turn into another war... B/c as it sits, after this, we will be pointing fingers all around, and especially with the N.Korea debacle as it is already.

JFK might have been unrelated, they are still looking into it. But JFK said it was just a fire. Dontknow

They said the library was most likely unrelated. Also, I have a strong feeling it is more than 2 casualties.

Hard to believe they're unrelated, I guess. We'll see what comes out in the next few days

I am sure of that too... even if we do get updates, we will never really know the true story.
