Horrific Footage Of Boston Marathon Explosion [VIDEO]

The news about the tragedy in Boston is sad and unnerving. Two explosions happened near the finish line of the Boston Marathon and another at the JFK library. Dozens of people are hurt and at least two lives have been lost in the blasts. This raw video footage of one of the blasts is downright terrifying.

Our thoughts go out to everyone in Boston, and to everyone affected by this horrendous act. I'm just at a loss for words as to why anyone would want to do something like this.

To make matters worse, officials are also worried there might be more explosions, they have shut down cell service to Boston, there are bomb specialist  combing the city, and I'm sure everyone there and everyone who has family in the area must be terrified.
