When did this action take place?
This happened on April 15th 2013 during the Boston marathon. The time was 2:50 pm and the race clock was reading 4:09:43 and the bombs went off. During this time most people were sitting on the sidelines waiting for their loved ones to cross the finish line. But no, many people were running for their lives. As some runners a little ways back guards were telling them to turn around and run the other way. So the marathon runners ran one way and the people waiting on the sides were running the other way. About two minutes later another bomb went off and that's when most were injured since they weren't expecting another bomb to explode.
