If it was a bomb, my money's on a trashcan.

Around 10 mins ago Sky News UK had 5 dead, 23 injured on the scrolling banner. Changed to 2 dead just as I was copying link. Not sure if anyone has seen the personal video of runners falling yards apart, where the guy's shouting about ballbearings. I don't have a link to that, but it was shown on SN repeatedly. They've not shown it past half hour. It could be debris, of course, and he appears to be told to 'put those down sir', though the dude shouting at him looks like a steward.

From ABC news:
4:24 pm ET: A Federal law enforcement authority confirms to ABC News this was an intentional bombing, using small portable explosive devices.
4:21 pm ET: Boston Police confirms they have found three more suspicious devices. One has been rendered safe.
I don't know how reliable the New York post is?????? but they say 12 dead

I am about a 40 minute drive from Boston. I have friends that run this marathon, I have been a spectator in past years. It is a huge event that draws runners from all over the world. Thank God that Boston has some of the best hospitals in the world....I heard that at least 2 are dead, and 23 injured (numbers are still being confirmed). Scary stuff.
This is awful. Thoughts are with folks who were injured and families of the deceased.
I have bad memories of 9/11 rolling in my head right now.

Wow, I sure hope that's incorrect. I've heard 2 or 3, depending on the source. That is horrific enough, but 12?
Their sources are apparently "federal law enforcement officials", which would make it seem likely, I'm just unsure why they would be the only ones reporting such a high number. I hope the Post is mistaken.
