Starting around 3:00, people I barely knew starting sending me text messages asking if I was ok. They didn't know I was watching the Marathon at Boston College, but they knew I worked at the JFK Library. The first Facebook post (on the bottom) is from 3:02PM, texts and calls were barely coming through but after figuring out that our friends running were safe and after sending over several "I'm not at JFK today and I don't know if it's a related incident," texts, I put up this post. The second post (top) is from 4:32PM. I wanted to relay the message from the JFK twitter that all JFK workers were safe and accounted for.
