Item Text: We had just turned around to walk to The Globe when the first explosion went off. We immediately turned around to go the other way, and then the second went off. Since it seemed like they were coming from the sidewalk, we moved to the middle of the street, but then quickly realized that wasn't the best escape route. We walked back on to the sidewalk and quickly to Exeter St, then down until we made it to a friend's house on Marlborough St. (And to the girl with the dog who already posted a story - we were the young women standing next to you, giving your dog lots of attention and cheering on friends. I'm sorry that we had started walking away - If they had gone off while we were standing with you 10 seconds earlier, you could have come with us and not been alone.)
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.
