Item Text: We were waiting for our friend to take a right on Hereford..she was about a 1/2 mile back when we heard the first explosion. We all were looking at one another with confused expressions. Thunder?? Then the second. Police started mobilizing and then the sirens began. My girlfriend asked a nearby cop what was going on and he staunchly yelled, "bombs have exploded, we need to clear you all out now!" We frantically gathered our belongings and bee-lined it to our friends apt. where we tried contacting friends and family.
