Item Text: I was near the end of Hereford St. When I heard the explosions and saw the smoke. The police stopped all the runners while police, fire, and emergency vehicles roared past. I saw some injured and bloody people walking towards us on Boylston. I got separated from my two friends that I had been running with. I found out latter that evening that they were 20 feet from the second blast on the right side of Boylston. They were completely unhurt. I still can't believe how close they were and didn't even get a scratch.
