Look up images at your own risk. It's still very early, but it looks like a suicide bomber.
EDIT: Jumped to conclusions. No confirmation as to what caused the explosion.
Watching on TV... no talks of suicide bomber.
Holy shit! This is just insane. My prayers go out to the injured and their families. I just hope there aren't any more bombs waiting to take out emergency workers.
I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions and assume it was a terrorist attack. I suppose a natural gas explosion hasn't been ruled out so I guess I'll keep watching the news.
^^ ditto.

Holy shit. CNN said there were two explosions, not just 1.
In probably the sickest coincidence imaginable, the AP is reporting that some of the family members of the Newtown victims were sitting in a VIP section near the blasts.
I jumped to conclusions with my first post, but the official Boston Marathon twitter account is revering to the events as bombs.

Apparently police found a third unexploded bomb and performed a controlled explosion. I'm guessing we can rule out accidental gas main explosion.

All those barriers they put up are really hindering efforts to get to the injured.
CNN is telling that police confirmed 2 people dead and 22 wounded
Fox News is saying 2 dead, 30 injured in their live stream.
