So far nothing has been said about bombs. Two explosions but, no details yet.

Explosions from trash cans???? Come on. It's not a gas leak.

AND they just said SWAT was searching for other "devices". If that's not a bomb, then I don't know what it would be.

CNN is now reporting casualties. 2 or 3.

At the time I saw this, the only information was there were two explosions which could have been anything including a gas leak. If there was a video where other information was stated, I couldn't see it due to work filters. There was nothing in the text saying "bombs". Obviously, now we know what it was and it's a terrible thing to happen. I don't know what's happened to our world.

I read unexploded "secondary" devices were found, so it's pretty safe to assume bomb versus accidental explosion.

Reporting 3 dead, 10 with missing limbs, and dozens taken to the hospital.

*edit* Fox just changed back to 2 dead.

Intelligence officials told The Associated Press two unexploded devices were being dismantled, and reports of a third "controlled" explosion near the JFK Library in the Columbia Point section of Dorchester, may have been an intentional detonation supervised by authorities.

Not good...

During the press conference they referenced a third 'incident' at the library, which would tend to indicate that it wasn't a controlled explosion.
