Just because you haven't seen the graphic images of the injuries is not proof the injuries being reported are fake.
If you really want to see the graphic images, then all you need to do is have a look around the internet.

Anyway, anyone interested, please look at the footage of Martin's parents clearly unscathed and being interviewed on the street, now the story has changed and his mother has been in the hospital all along, undergoing BRAIN SURGERY. Brain something else.
Likewise, the Kandahar veteran soldier amputee used as actor is beyond obvious match.
Chambliss did say that security around the country would have to change for large public events, including greater involvement by the federal government.
"This was a soft target. It was not a target that was able to be totally protected," he said. "This particular incident is going to cause the administration and Congress to evaluate our overall security programs around the country, particularly for major events. We can't leave it just to the communities that host these events to provide the security."
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Tuesday that there is no sign the explosions in Boston were part of a "broader plot," but that her department is still being cautious.

I am pretty sure this is the same guy in the wheelchair with his limbs missing. wow... the bombs went off after he crossed the finish line way behind him
the pic in the wheelchair doesn't look at all right... since when does anyone wheel anybody off like that without medical attn first? Usually it is immobilize and treat the victim on the spot... before moving. sheesh
