    Some images are coming out, and they're not good

    Dozens injured, lots of lost limbs

    People are hesitant to call it a bombing just yet

    I've got family in Boston. I don't think my uncle, who has a heart condition is a runner, but I'm still concerned for everyone in the area.

    I find this incredibly depressing because it's the same city that got flack for freaking out about the 'suspicious devices' that could have been bombs years ago that were ATHF viral marketing.

    They haven't said anyone has been killed yet. So we can hope.

    "casualties" generally includes injured, not just dead
    so there are definitely casualties

    sorry, I get pedantic when this sort of thing happens, for some reason

    I'm not going to get into a pedantic war here about this but suffice to say I disagree.
