Sick to my stomach (Boston Marathon explosion)

I am totally sick to my stomach right now. If you haven't heard, 2 explosions at the finish line at the Boston Marathon. 3 people I know are in it. 2 of them, last report were a few miles back. I am not sure on the 3rd.

Whoever has the nerve to do this has to pay.

^^X50. I am sick and tired of hearing this type of news and dealing with the cowards that cause any type of mass casualty situation. Somebody had to see something. I hope enough to catch who's responsible.

Truly sad what this world has come to.
Was hoping for no deaths, but hearing there are some.

Also traumatic amputations. This is deeply disturbing.

Have been watching the news about the explosions in Boston, if it turns out to be bombs, it is a very scary situation. I can't believe how violent our county has become, of course out first thought is terror?? Keep all in our thoughts and prayers!

We are just hearing about all this on T.V. now, this is so very sad, our thoughts and prayers to all those affected. I hope that whoever would do such a sick act will be caught and brought to justice.

Just checked the website for Boston Athletic Association and my friend was projected to finish within 3 minutes of the explosion.

Finally got through to work. He is ok.
