Although MGH has enough blood for now, it has a shelf life, and these patients will need transfusions over the coming days and weeks. Doctors do not want to have to throw out blood because they got too many donations now, but then run short later when they need it.

None of MGH's patients will be discharged today.

Most of the amputations done at MGH were above the knee because there was so much damage to the patients' legs.

There were a few patients who arrived at MGH in very, very critical condition; doctors are convinced that if they had remained at the scene for even a few more minutes, they would not be alive today. They credited emergency services and medical personnel at the scene with getting patients to the city's many hospitals rapidly.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/16/2013 7:24:59 PM
MGH doctor says they had very little discussion with the patients when they arrived because most were in a state of shock. "At the point we were rushing to save their lives; they were bleeding profusely. That wasn't the time for talking; it was the time for doing."

by Teresa Hanafin 4/16/2013 7:25:02 PM
MGH doctors say that most patients they saw have extensive burns as well as extensive injuries from the shrapnel from the bombs.The hospital sent some patients with ruptured eardrums from the blast next door to Mass. Eye and Ear.

One of the bombs was placed inside a metal pressure cooker hidden inside a backpack, according to Channel 7. Some were constructed with a low-velocity explosive.

A patient at Tufts-New England Medical Center holding a press conference now was near the finish line watching a female friend who was running. He said the explosion was like a cannon going off. He thought maybe it was bad fireworks: "it never dawned on me there would be a device or bomb there. It shattered the window next to us and I realized something was going on. I looked over at my wife and I saw that her lower leg was hit by shrapnel and she was bleeding."

Investigators have appealed to marathon spectators for amateur video and photos that might yield clues to lead to the person or persons responsible for the bombings. Even images that people might not think are significant could lead to developments.

Here's a look at all the Instagram photos taken by the finish line leading up to the explosion. www.boston.com
