I think it's worthwhile not to assume it's terrorism: it's at least possible it could be a gas main explosion, or something. Even with two explosions. Let's wait and see.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Reuters has a Live Blog set up on it.
Three dead confirmed so far.
They seem to be focusing on bombs that were in packages at street level since there are so many leg injuries.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay I won't yet jump to conclusions. I fear the worst that it was an intentional act.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's my presumption. It sure doesn't look like a gas-main explosion. And having it set at the finish line looks very purposeful.

Would some idiot(s) really want to use the Boston Marathon on tax day to make a statement?
