Today at 2:50 there were 2 explosions at the finish line of Boston Marathon. As of right now casualties stand at 23 injuries and 2 confirmed fatalities. Luckily police and paramedics were already on hand to assist with the injured and to maintain control. There were 2 other explosions heard. the first was the controlled detonation of a bag left near the scene, and the second was an explosion at the JFK Library. it is unsure whether or not that explosion was connected. There was no warning, and so far no one has come forth to take responsibility. Officials have said that it is unclear if this is a terrorist attack, however it is being treated as such. Several streets in Boston nave been shut down, as well as the Boston Airport. Also as response to this I have heard that all Nonessential personnel have been cleared from the white house in Washington D.C. People in and around the area are being warned to stay indoors and are being told not to congregate in large groups.
