Local News site. Sounds like some people have been badly injured.

[MentalSarcasm]

Christ, hope no one is too badly hurt

London Marathon is this Sunday, police presence will no doubt massively increase after this.

[Aizle]

There's some gritty pics about people, just beware.

This isn't gory.

I'm watching live footage on the news and they don't know any more than us.

How many explosions?

[Carfiend]

Two explosions 15 seconds apart near the finish line near Copley Sq. Reports of people missing limbs.

Not good at all

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Reports of two simultaneous explosions on bbc

[Aizle]

God, I can't imagine what it is like to be nearby, let alone involved.

[MentalSarcasm]

Twitter is reporting that another device has been found outside a hotel.

Jesus fking christ,what's wrong with people?

Be warned, there are some bloody awful pics from this. Don't go looking without being aware first. I just saw something i'd rather not have.

Attacking unsuspecting, innocent people who are out raising money for charity.
Some real cowardly bds behind this.

[Streps]

I hope those caught up in the blast are not too badly injured.

[rohrl]

Caution because initial reports are normally wrong but I have heard that someone close by reported deaths.

How awful. These people were celebrating a holiday and raising money for charity by running the marathon and someone somewhere has decided that they should be injured or their lives extinguished to make a statement.

This is terrible news, thought are with anyone who is caught up in this
