LIVE VIDEO: Explosion at Boston Marathon
BOSTON -- Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston
Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to
carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from
Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.
Competitors and race organizers were crying as they fled the chaos.
Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been
set up to care for fatigued runners.
"There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528
identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured,
but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a
runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston
police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was
bleeding.
