    Videos now being shown of at least 2 explosions about 100yd apart. One looks like it was inside the store (blast went sideways), one was obviously outside (blast went up).

    Third device set off by bomb squad, fourth device being attended to now (defuse or detonate I do not know), possible fifth device just discovered but could simple detrius. Death toll will climb.

    Info is still sketchy, but it looks like terrorism. Thoughts go out to the families of the dead & to the injured.

    i know its a bit preamature to call it a terrorist attack without knowing more, but... given the time and situation, the final of the boston marathon, it would have to be a massive coincidence

    But the slow motion where the runner falls to the ground, looks like a big fire cracker. The cloth fence gets blown, but does not even shred.
    The blast probably did shred, cloth wont stop glass and rock. Based on the amount of blood on the streets there was a lot of shrapnel. That is outside the store, inside probably resembles and abbatoir. RIP.

    After watching it on the TV, the blast(s) does seem bigger than what was described.

    And there was a fireball so....

    just watched slow motion of the first explosion, it was inside the building, watched the windows blow out and it was big. Not saying it was, but the blast looked like what we used to see out of Israel when a suicide bomber set himself off inside a crowded establishment. Not looking good for whoever was inside that store. Number of injured now up to dozens with police reporting multiple blasts.
