No. 19th.
This attack was clearly related to the turnout of the Boston marathon event, which is an annual one.

Isn't Janszoon from there as well? I doubt he was running though. (Sorry Jans, I had to)

Yeah that's what I thought cos I know he runs.

He'll probably be fine. I hope.

Realistically it was probably smaller scale, homegrown individuals here in the U.S commiting a senseless act of violence. Everyone points a finger right to muslims and etc however look at 9.11, I doubt that a muslim extremists would attack at that point, low populated area, with few runners, they would try to make a bigger impact. Ball bearings were confirmed on CNN from eyewitness nurse in the hospital. Most likely a pipe bomb if you look at how focused the blast was upwards (I.E a not very well made, or sealed lid portion) again pointing at crude, home grown individuals. I do not think we will find a cause so to speak, if they have not spoken up, they wont. You dont get your message out without letting your message be heard.

Judging by his FB status being updated 3 hours ago, I'd say he's safe

I'm from Boston originally actually and my parents frequently volunteer at the the medical booth at the finish line. Luckily they weren't doing it this year, but it still freaks me out.

I saw some pictures today that are going to give me nightmares for years. This is reminding me of 9/11 in the way that I'm getting very emotional and upset about a tragedy. 9/11 was close to home but this is hitting those same chords. Fucking horrible.

Whoever did this is truly evil, it's so messed up. I didn't even know about it until a co-worker told me during my shift. There are some seriously ****ed up people out there :C

Having said that the Irish immigrants in Boston was the IRA's biggest revenue stream during the 70s & 80s while they were bombing mainland Britain.

While i'm sorry it happened to them a part of me can't help thinking now you know what it feels like.

Not a blessed fucking one of my family or friends back in Boston has ever financed the IRA and not a single one of them deserve to "know what it feels like". I like you both, but your comments are really fucking inappropriate and obnoxious.
