Item Text: I was sitting in my office at 206 Newbury (my window looks out to the building that blew up around Forum Bar) and heard 1 loud explosion that sounded like something heavy was dropped on the floor above me, then I heard a second and saw smoke shoot up behind our building. When we went outside on Newbury there were people bleeding and running while crying and screaming. EMTs were operating on a child with what was probably shrapnel in his leg (his pants looked like they were burned off) and a woman with a head injury on her back being operated on by Stephanies. Just a crazy scene.
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.
