(Reuters) - The hotel that serves as the headquarters for the Boston Marathon was locked down on Monday after a security incident near the finish line. Two blasts were heard by reporters in the media center.

A Boston Marathon spokesman told reporters that no one would be allowed in or out of the building.

I was going to reply but I closed the window instead because I couldn't bother to, looks like you got the post before it was deleted though laugh out loud


*edit* Hey looks like the post I quoted quoting the original post I was going to quote has been deleted LMAO
where was the personal attack? was it because I mentioned that the person complaining about lines at the airport should chill and keep things in perspective?

Glad to hear everyone from Boston is okay. I live just outside the city and was at the finish line as well.

According to a Boston law enforcement source: "significant developments" in the case/criminal investigation.

UPDATE: Bomb suspect potentially ID'd; news conference with FBI scheduled for 5 PM ET.

The New York Post was derided Tuesday for apparent inaccuracies in its reporting on the bombing at the Boston Marathon. And now, its rival tabloid, the Daily News, is facing criticism over an apparent photo touch-up.

On yesterday's cover wrap, the News ran a photo taken by John Tlumacki of The Boston Globe showing an injured woman lying in a pool of blood while being tended to by a civilian.

But the version published by the News seemed to erase a gory wound to the woman's leg that was visible in other publications that used the photo. On Tuesday evening, a link to a blog post exposing the manipulation began circulating among News journalists, some of whom were none-too-pleased about the situation, multiple newsroom sources told Capital.

I never trust The Post. I give the National Enquirer more credit than this rag. That's why I asked my previous question.
Anything to sell papers. What a crying shame.

What the hell do they mean 'Dark-skinned male'? Just say you've found the suspect. no need to give the incomplete info about the racial background to public.

They should extradite him to China since he killed one of their citizens. They know how to deal with him.

​2:44 p.m.
​ CNN's John King reports an "identification" has been made based on video footage, but there is no one in custody and no arrest has been made.
2:40 p.m. ​The Boston Police Department has tweeted [twitter.com] that "despite reports to the contrary, there has not been an arrest in the Marathon attack."
