[outages] Boston Marathon explosions/outages

[Jay Ashworth]

672 Copley St near the square, according to Bloomberg; 100 injuries,
no confirmed fatalities; much video of the explosions due to live coverage
of the race.

It's being reported that iMessage traffic to the area is congested, and
iPhone users should disable that for more reliable communications in and
out of the city.

No official confirmation these were bombs; the T may have transformers in
that area for its subway lines.

More details on Twitter and Zello#Emergency as news progresses; followups
to -discussion please, unless they're about specific outages related to
the incident.

Cheers,
