Mandarin Hotel Evacuated: Second Boston Marathon Bomb May Be Active

Impact

It seems increasingly clear that whatever happened at the Boston Marathon finish line, it is part of some form of coordinated attack against Boston's civilian population during the race.

Reports from social media (unconfirmed) indicate that a secondary explosive device has been located outside of Boson's Mandarin Oriental Hotel and will be destroyed (hopefully safely) in a controlled demolition by the Boston Police Department using explosive ordnance disposal equipment.

At 673 Boystone St., the police scanner suggests that at least 22 have been injured and 2 killed. These remain unconfirmed reports.
