Item Text: My husband crossed the finish line at 2:30 PM. I had been sitting the VIP grandstand area with my 7 year old son. We were heading to the family meeting area when we heard the explosions. It didn't register immediately that there was an issue. I looked on my twitter account and saw the first posting which stated that there was a reported bombing at the finish line.
Notes (acquisition):
This story was collected by the Boston Globe in the days immediately following the Boston Marathon Bombing. GlobeLab collected these anonymous stories on the Boston.com website and donated them to the Our Marathon Archive. We are grateful for this contribution, which gives insight into how Bostonians and visitors to the city understood the bombing events in their immediate aftermath.
