From correspondent Seth Lakso at the marathon medical tent:
BAA head nurse Jeanette Corsini: "At this point I can't give you any specific numbers. There were obviously a lot of lower leg injuries. I don't have any details as far as what it was. Obviously some pretty horrific injuries. In (the tent) I would say at least 25 were taken away by ambulance" -
