knapplc Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Jackie Bruno @JackieBrunoNECN My photog @JohnHammann and I are safe. But, we were very very close. Saw people on the ground with limbs missing. Awful. EDIT - and a video of the blast from local TV: LINK Police immediately swarm the scene. The runner on the ground here is the man who fell in the above video. Link to comment

huskeraddict Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 ESPN is doing a better job covering this story than most cable news stations. I take this back. They went from Jeremy Schaap, who was doing a great job, to SportsCenter anchors and then were just using the ABC feed. Link to comment
