From what I was reading last night, it seems as if that was their intention - apparently 4 hours in is typically a very crowded time at the finish line as it's when the the majority of recreational runners typically finish and their friends and families wait at the finish line to greet them, congratulate them, and cheer them on. While many people have been severely injured, it seems like pure luck that there were not more casualties.
Side note: I had nearly forgotten what a total fucking ass hat JohnnyClips is. Isn't there a rule about creating a fake nick in order to contravene a ban.
