We have heard from her--she's ok. Actually if you see the news pics of a kid being pushed in a wheelchair by an emergency official, she's standing on the right side of the wheelchair in the pic (dressed in all black looking down into a smartphone). There are family members who are in surgery right now however.

I also hope the 23 (as reported here) quickly and fully recover.

No report on who did it or why.
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Blurf, praying for your family members who are (or were) in surgery, may they have a speedy and complete recovery.



And obviously the same goes for all the rest of the injured.

It's also a dark day for France today and for me quite particularly.
That the victims can rest in peace.
All the support of the Brigade du Cosmos, of France and the french people to all the families of the victims of this heinous attack.
All our thoughts also go to the citizens of the city of Boston and to the Americans.
E pluribus unum.

Below the communiqué of our President for the attention of the Americans, the victims and the families.

Having left for work around 1:30PM CST and working a 12 hour shift, I just got home and read this terrible news.

Condolences and prayers for all affected by this terrible act.

FBI releases images showing remains of a pressure cooker — part of bomb that exploded at Boston Marathon leaving 3 dead and 176 wounded

My condolences, to the three dead and everyone wounded, and their families.
Very Sad:-(
