Does anyone know if it was as the first people were finishing, or the last, or what? As well as the shock of being there as it went off, imagine all those who were still running and suddenly found themselves, totally exhausted, at the scene of the explosion.

3 hours after the first people had crossed the line, so that would be the elite's etc, pro runners after that and then the public a few hours after the 'winner"

It was nearly 5 hours after the start, so the elite runners would have finished. I would have been halfway round by then, luckily.

It's nice to see MF has chosen such an appropriate and light-hearted thread to use his neg-repping powers on me.

Show just a little taste...

Do you honestly think I even read this thread before posting? I still have no idea WTF its about? Pigeons? Child molesters? Squirrel murderers?

If I have to read threads before posting I may have to change a lifetime of CUK posting.

The NY Post is the Daily Mail of US media. The Boston police have already stated that the story is untrue.

The NY Times is the one that keeps saying "You've had this month's freebies, now pay us."

Which reminds me:

javascript:(function()%7BC=document.cookie.split(%22;%20%22);for(d=%22.%22+location.host;d;d=(%22%22+d).substr(1).match(/%5C..*$/))for(sl=0;sl%3C2;++sl)for(p=%22/%22+location.pathname;p;p=p.substring(0,p.lastIndexOf(%22/%22)))for(i%20in%20C)if(c=C%5Bi%5D)%7Bdocument.cookie=c+%22;%20domain=%22+d.slice(sl)+%22;%20path=%22+p.slice(1)+%22/%22+%22;%20expires=%22+new%20Date((new%20Date).getTime()-1e11).toGMTString()%7D%7D)()

solves that problem

Bit weird it's on tax day in Boston. It makes you hope it isn't just some lone nutter, that would be harder for the authorities than the usual suspects
