My brother was a block away from either side of the explosions! He was there to watch his wife run when I found out I called him and his phone went straight to voice mail didn`t even ring scared the s*it out of me I thought the worst! They have 2 small kids thankfully at home with gramma at the time. I was worried about all of them not knowing what the hell was going on. Thank god they are all right, when I did talk to my brother he hadnt even found his wife yet who was somewhere in the marathon. My brother said it was total confusion and chaos and a gruesome scene obviously!
Thoughts and prayers go out to those who were not as lucky!
