Item Text: After the first blast I walked out onto the balcony of the 5th floor of the office space we were having a marathon party at. Then within seconds the second bomb went off. The bomb blast went up it looked about 3 stories and out onto the street it seemed. I then saw what seemed like a dozen people down and one big heavy set guy in a sitting position on the sidewalk feet from where the bomb went off. I think he lost one or two legs. Then I had to find my family and evacuate the building.
