sj, thanks for letting us know. I'm very glad to hear it!
I'm at the point where I've heard from just about everyone who would conceivably have been there or nearby, and am resisting emailing all of my friends who live 2 hours away from the city. But, damn, I just wanna wrap everyone up in a giant hug and keep them safe forever.
Stories of some people finishing the marathon and going directly to donating blood.
God. You're so physically hammered immediately after a marathon, and they're donating blood? They are good folks.
Looks like the JFK Library fire was just a fire and not related.

Witnesses are also reporting people running toward the blast almost immediately to help the injured.

You can see it in the video. The sports producer who was taping the finish line has the whole thing on tape. It's a little hard to watch because you can hear people screaming in pain right after.
Boston blood banks are already fully-supplied, and they are apparently asking people to make appointments to donate in a few weeks.

I'll admit I'm not watching the video very closely. I mostly listening to the TV; it's just too much to watch.
I thought the police commissioner confirmed an explosion at the JFK library?

An unrelated fire, they think.
