My brother was there to watch his wife run the marathon they are all ok plus others I know who were there are safe as well! I hope and pray for the same results for you!

My family is all safe. Now I wonder who our government will "fix" the blame on this time. (sorry don't mean to get political). dave.

Glad to hear all your loved ones are safe! Crazy stuff, now a days you don`t know whether it`s foreign or domestic terror attacks!

Scary in that I think "foreign" attacks will more often than not be carried out by domestic/US citizens that have been recruited or influenced by foreign terror organizations, like the Ft Hood shootings. That said, no idea who did this, but I'd suspect there will be a claim(s) pretty soon.

Thoughts and prayers to all. Super sad.

CNN just reporting one victim was an 8 year old child too sad for words. I`m so angry right now! Senseless violence what do these A-hole terrorists expect to accomplish by this?Whatever their issues are this will not help to solve them!
I have to turn off the tv and step away from my computer right now! Getting sensory overload. Parents hug your kids you never know what tomorrow brings!

Completely agree, I feel so much anger right now. And as always, whether it be this attack or a suicide bombing in a Kabul market, it's doubtful anyone killed or maimed had anything to do with the motives, politics or whatever was behind this attack.

Ridiculous. I have run this race a couple of times, I know exactly where these bombs went off. There is no greater thrill for a marathon runner than to run the final stretch down Boyleston St. towards the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A running buddy of mine was running today and was 50 feet from the first blast when it went off. Luckily he was in the middle of the road and okay. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and their families.

I am literally sick to my stomach. The scum who did this is/are pathetic cowards. Find 'em, convict 'em, put 'em to death.
