Boston was rocked by two explosions on Monday. The first explosion came at about 14:50 local time (18:50 GMT) on the north side of Boylston Street, about two hours after the winners crossed the line of the Boston Marathon.
There was initial confusion and panic. Some runners fell to the floor while police and bystanders ran to help those caught in the blast.
