>> we still do not know who did this. any responsible individuals or groups will feel the full weight of justice. >> our top story seen around the country tonight on wgn america, terror at the finish line of the boston marathon when two bombs go off, 141 people hurt, 17 are in critical condition, to people are dead, one of them was an 18 year-old boy. we have reporter in boston tonight. >> a terrorist attack at the finish line of the boston

marathon. two explosions within seconds of each other along the marathon route. at first it sounded like a cannon blast but it was so strong and it felt like it was going to blow my head off. we're not ready to confirm the details of those injuries. we will find out who did this, why they did this. any responsible individuals and any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice. the force of the explosions caused a bill in a cloud of smoke and rising panic. everyone started to crascramble not knowing if te were more explosions to come. >> we are investigating all leads right now.

>> authorities have set up a to applied and are asking people to go home or to hotels and avoid large crowds. people should be calm but they should understand that this is an ongoing events, many of the nearly 27,000 registered athletes are still working to complete the course when the bombs went off. >> the explosion happened just before 2:00 chicago time many chicago runners were already finished. back at o'hare airport. i talked with several people who ran the marathon and they're pretty shaken up tonight, some of them were not right there when it happened, nonetheless when they saw the pictures when they were very

shaken up and they were lucky they came very close they know that they could have been hurt but they feel tonight for those who were directly affected. brad had finished the boston marathon one hour earlier. they were finishing a slice of pizza near the finish line when they heard the explosions go off one after the other. they said that the scene was chaotic ambulances and police were everywhere, volunteers in runners were helping the injured. we were all shaken. tom hayes is the mayor of a lack of arlington heights who has run nine boston marathons. i didn't even think about it going into it.

certainly it's not anywhere near your thought processes you just think about finishing and having a good race. now we will certainly think about this as we go forward in marathons' certainly. audrey thought that he would run boston only ones now he and abroad say that they have to go again next year. i think we all have to run boston. we will run boston or chicago. >> we see americans and their determination with times of tragedy and we see their resilience, audrey and brett are two men who will definitely go back there just to support boston and the marathon but one thing is for sure from now won

marathons and the runners who serun them around the world will never be the same. we all know that the boston marathon is an international event that brings runners in from all around the world. we spoke with many of them. many were very close to the chaos. including a recent visitor to the wgn studios, she and her boyfriend were volunteering at the marathon she was stationed at refreshment table right near the finish line. i felt in my god right as it happens. but like many she was initially confused by the initial explosion, this happens seconds later. all of a sudden there was a sense of panic which started running.

this chicagoan was in town to support a friend he was one block away from the explosion. lots of the ambulances, people running, lots of chaos. 51 year- old veteran runner frank coleman was recovering in the medical tent when the injured were rushed in. there were people with extremely severe injuries. it was really horrifying. chicagoans, hundreds of them who earned the right to run in boston felt a kinship with the city >> i do feel like they do a great job with security so i think it's just shocked everybody but i'm sure all cities will be reconsidering their security tactics when they host major marathons in the future. we met a major athlete before he had to the race, this

was his first boston marathon. he finished hours before but all day he felt the effects of the devastating bombing. this great day for so many people. it's just a sad day. he mentioned it is this year's boston marathon. a small bombs and the deadly blast just seconds apart we received this rob video of the explosions from the boston globe. smoke filling the square

in boston. people screaming, running, first responder scrambling to cope with the casualties in and secure the scene. among the 141 people injured we know there were imputations, some very critical injuries at the scene of the explosion. we're joined by the head of orthopedic surgery at the university of chicago medical center. you have a bit of an inside track on the aftermath, you have been in touch with some of your

colleagues in boston. he taxed the back that he had done eight imputation so far since the bomb blast and that he is still working. apparently these bombs were propelling. the greatest number of injuries occur from shrapnel. some of these may be part of the explosive device others may be any surrounding objects that are just projected by the bomb and cause a massive injuries, fractures, loss of skin, muscle and it's this loss of tissue that results in most of the amputation. it is the

massive number of projectiles that are projected by this explosion that really harm people, sometimes in multiple locations, multiple injuries in the same victims. those medical professionals were not equipped for those explosions, there were

not intending to deal with the injured. i go out to you in your profession, my respect. shortly after those explosions google set up a finder on its web site is called boston marathon explosion, you can either search for someone or input information about someone's whereabouts. boston police have a number that they are putting up. up next are terrorism analyst takes a closer look at what is now being classified as a terrorist attack. what they're doing to keep chicago safe.
