BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS---At 2:50 Monday afternoon the deafening sound of an explosion drowned the roar of the crowd that was gathered along the corridor of Boylston Street near Copely Square to watch runners cross the finish line in the 117th running of the famed Boston Marathon which has its roots in the 1896 Olympics.
It was the first of two explosions. It came at four hours, nine minutes and 43 seconds into the third wave of the race that is sponsored by the Boston Athletic Association. Then 12 seconds later another nearby explosion happened sending another fireball into the air, followed by sulpher-laced smoke, as stunned participants and spectators scrambled for safety. At least three lay dead and more than 175 others were injured, some gravely.
