Fucking heartbreaking, and I wish I could have been there to help. Kudos to the first responders and the Guardsmen who were on hand to help save lives in the aftermath.

Keeps climbing. 176 injured.
New reports say that there was not a third bomb found. The first two bombs were pressure cookers filled with nails, metal, and ball bearings. No wonder there were so many amputations. Bombs were contained in duffle bags.
Breaks my heart to see those that rush in immediately in the face of uncertain danger to yank away those fences and tend to the injured, whether it be police, national guard, or regular civilians. I know sometimes the police take a lot of shit (and sometimes for good reason) but these guys didn't even blink. But I understand that feeling of helplessness. I would hope that I would be one of those people rushing in, and not running the other direction.
