"There are news reports coming in (along with witness photos and videos) of the Boston Marathon, where runners at the tail ends of their 26.2-mile journeys were about to cross the finish line. According to witnesses, two explosions went off&amp;amp;#8212;about 10 seconds apart&amp;amp;#8212;by the Boston Public Library, sending 50-foot plumes of smoke into the sky and injuring spectators and runners (though there are no details just yet about how many, or who). Ambulances and EMS workers were almost immediately on scene; the entire area has now been evacuated and locked down. This year, the marathon was honoring the victims of the Newtown shootings with a special mile marker at the race, along with 26 seconds of silence at the race&amp;#x27;s start. The footage is beyond terrifying. My heart and thoughts are with everyone involved right now, and I hope your loved ones are safe. More soon. UPDATE (4:07 ET): Boston&amp;#x27;s police department information officer is reporting that 23 people are injured, and two have died. If you&amp;#x27;re looking for information about specific runners, you can consult this chip-based tracking system. UPDATE (4:30 ET): The New York Times has a graphic showing the exact locations of the explosions, about 550 feet apart. If you&amp;#x27;re in Boston and trying to find a runner, Runner&amp;#x27;s World reports that &amp;quot;Boston Common is the new family meeting area.&amp;quot; UPDATE (4:59 ET): A third, undetonated explosive device may have been found at the finish line. Officials are urging people to text loved ones (or use Facebook) instead of calling. UPDATE (5:53 ET): There may be more than 60 injured. NPR reports: &amp;quot;Brigham and Women&amp;#x27;s Hospital has received 18 to 20 patients, with 2 in critical condition,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Boston Medical Center has received 20 patients, including 2 children, all from the marathon bombs. Most of these patients have lower-leg injuries, according to a hospital spokesperson. They don&amp;#x27;t have anything yet about condition of injured.&amp;quot; UPDATE (8:10 EST): There are now 107 reported injured, but the Red Cross needs no more blood donations. According to some sources, a fourth explosive device was found and dismantled. Here&amp;#x27;s a list of Bostonians offering shelter (and, P.S., any Bostonians who are doing this: someone wants to buy you pizza). You&amp;#x27;re amazing, Boston--we&amp;#x27;re thinking of you.
