All outgoing flights from Logan Airport have been suspended and "more than likely" incoming flights already in route or havn't left yet to land at Logan

Boston Commissioner is saying they're treating it as linked still currently (live on Fox News and probably everwhere else.)

My thoughts to my American brothers to the south. I'm sorry for this.

CNN says 49 injured, 2 dead - they are usually the most accurate when it comes to this stuff, and won't ever put something out unless its confirmed, so obviously it could be more, but I usually trust them most

All major news networks... I think it was 19 that needed immediate surgery.

They said the numbers will increase, when they start counting minor injuries and people treated for the mental shock.
So hopefully that big jump is what they reported earlier, and those are all minor.

I certainly do hope this isnt related to religion in any way. To think people still killing each other over some stone-age **** would hurt me even more.

Espn reporting that between 25-30 have lost at least a part of one or two leg(s). Even more had to be amputated.

Depressing. I'm now feeling every tiny sensation all along my legs.

My brother-in-law was 300 yards from the finish line when it went down; he was not allowed to finish the race. His wife, my sister-in-law, was at the finish line and was unhurt, but saw the mayhem and was in great despair and disbelief.

Oh the humanity.

Just saw this pic of this mysterious man on my facebook. Apparently it was around the time the first bomb went off.

Are you seriously reading too much into one comment? What does your daddy work for CNN?

According to the head surgeon that spoke on CBS news 19 needing immediate surgery/amputees, then they added with anywhere from 20-70 with minor cuts...
That is a lot different than saying 49 injured and assume there are 49 people who lost limbs.
