2 explosians

no i just know the finish line is in copley square, i will try and find out for you though

 

Thanks but it's not that important

 

heres the last 4 miles of the race

The next major milestone is Heartbreak Hill, marking the 20-mile point in the race near Boston College. The Boston Marathon course is known for being amongst the hilliest marathons in the world, and Heartbreak Hill is the last major hill on the course. However, it is named such not for its toughness, but because in 1936, defending champion John “Johnny” Kelley overtook Ellison Brown and gave him a pat on the shoulder as he passed. The gesture fueled Brown to beat Kelley, and therefore break his heart in doing so. You snooze, you lose.

Anyway, after Heartbreak Hill, it’s the final stretch for the runners. Cleveland Circle (Mile 22), Washington Square (Mile 23) and Coolidge Corner (Mile 24), are all excellent spots to catch the action, and can be easily accessed by the Green Line. Check out a list of bars in these areas here.

At Kenmore Square’s iconic Citgo Sign – Mile 25 – you can join throngs of Red Sox fans as they pour out of the 11:05 a.m. game on Monday morning.

The final, final stretch is when marathoners hit Boylston Street. It’s usually a madhouse in this last leg, but if you plop down in a spot early (read: throw lots of elbows and literally sit on the sidewalk at 9 a.m.), you’ll be able to see some of the world’s most inspiring athletes cross the finish line.

 

at least one more device has been found aswell. around the same area

 

Towards the common then

 

this doesnt sound good but it said theres limbs and blood everywhere.

 

London Marathon in doubt surely?

 

just said there looking to increase security in London for the marathon there

 

one day these horrible B'astards will blow up a football ground with 60'000 in it

 

Its just been confirmed that these were devices and not electrical problems or gas explosians. 2 more devices found one has been disarmed and the fourth is currently trying to be disharmed

 

Second explosion confirms jfk library which is in Copley square its self rather than Boylston

 

One gone off in JFK Library apparently.
