+allenjb42 4,234 Posted April 15, 2013 Watching it on BBC News & Sky News now. If it is a terrorist attack it looks like they were timed to catch the bulk of the runners rather than the first few finishers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+daddyairplanes 10,252 Posted April 15, 2013 The police swept for bombs prior to the start widowmaker. Since 9/11 we tend to try to ratchet up security at big events. From WBZ radio in boston, they hve video of someone putting bags in trashcans on site. Believed to have been put in place after the start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
