Whatever you might say, the official story stinks. There will be more on this, but here is RTs' reporting.
At least two people are dead following a pair of explosions in Boston, Massachusetts where thousands of runners are participating in the annual Boston Marathon. Local media report over 100 people have been injured as well.

At
least two people are dead following a pair of explosions in Boston,
Massachusetts where thousands of runners are participating in the
annual Boston Marathon. Local media report over 100 people have been
injured as well.
Preliminary
reports suggest two explosions occurred near the finish line of the
26.2-mile event shortly before 3 pm local time, and the Boston Globe
is reporting two deaths and more than 100 injuries.
The
FBI confirmed that the blasts were a terror attack, according to
federal sources cited by CNN.
Federal
aviation authorities have declared a no-fly zone over the area and
authorities including the US Air Force continue to attempt to secure
the scene. The aviation restrictions have reportedly extended to an
order that all flights out of Boston's Logan Airport be grounded
until further notice.
An
intelligence official working on the scene told the Associated Press
that two additional explosive devices were found inside garbage cans
near the site, and are being dismantled by a bomb squad.
As
law enforcement look for further explosives, they have reportedly
told people in the area to stay off of mobile phones in fears that
the signal could detonate another undiscovered device.

they
are."

The
Boston Marathon’s headquarters have reportedly put on locked down
while authorities investigate the incident. Both US President Barack
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have been made aware of the
tragedy.
"Obama
has directed administration to provide whatever assistance is
necessary in the investigation and response,”
a White House official tells the Globe.
Eyewitnesses
say smoke filled the streets of the city after a first explosion, and
seconds later another loud boom was heard
i“I
saw two explosions. The first one was beyond the finish line. I heard
a loud bang and I saw smoke rising,”
Boston Herald reporter Chris Cassidy says from the scene. “I
kept running and I heard behind me a loud bang. It looked like it was
in a trash can or something.”
“There
are people who have been hit with debris, people with bloody
foreheads,”
he says.
Witness
Andrea Storer adds to the Globe, “It
was huge. There had to be people killed. There had to be.”
"Blood
everywhere,”
another witness tells the paper.
The
event has been put on hold and paramedics are quickly trying to
assess the situation.
Earlier
in the afternoon, 23-year-old Ethiopian runner Lelisa Desisa came in
first-place by completing the run in 2 hours, 10 minutes and 22
seconds. At the time of the explosions, though, hundreds of runners
were still racing for the finish line.
Organizers
call the event the
"world's oldest annual marathon and one of the world's most
prestigious road races.”
