is that first guy missing his leg?

I think the injured gentleman is just holding his left leg up, blocking his right leg.

Swear a guy just said that one went off on the 3rd floor of one of the hotels in Boston near there.

they were supposed to be doing a controlled explosion, hopefully that was it.

oh I shouldn't have looked. I found a different picture and the rest of his left leg from that picture is gone.

I think it was still there, but I was wondering if I was looking at the inside of it.

Someone had raw footage very early on, and they showed a guy in a wheelchair with only a little bone left below his knee...

I was just about to eat lunch, I haven't moved yet...

I wish I hadn't. If you thought Kevin Ware's injury was bad, do not look.

Oooookay, so I was incorrect on my first assessment. Only saw part of the picture.

Scary situation. My fiance is in Boston right now. Luckily she was not around the finish line but set up at the top of Heartbreak Hill. Still a few tense moments while waiting for her to text me back though...
