Item Text: We were in the Hancock building working. The first blast shook the building, it felt like something happened at the base of the building. I immediately looked out my office window and saw people running. Then we felt a smaller blast, and saw thousands of people start running towards the building. We watched the chaos unfold from our office, feeling helpless, refreshing our cell phones and watching the TV in the lunchroom. And frantically trying to reach family and loved ones from our phones. Our office manager kept us inside for about an hour, and then we all left. Most of us walked home or to friends houses in walking distance. #BostonStrong
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.
