EP 42 | Chaos On The Streets of Boston with Dave Wedge, author and journalist, on the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing
Manage episode 363465860 series 2798757
Monday, April 15, 2013 stands as the most chaotic time in Boston's modern history and was the beginning of a traumatic four-day manhunt that shutdown the city.
Two home-made pressure cooker bombs went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon twelve seconds apart, filled with enough nails and ball bearings to cause maximum damage. Three people were killed as a direct result of the explosions on Boylston Street that afternoon: 29-year-old restaurant manager, Krystle Campbell, 23-year-old Chinese student Lingzi Lu, and the youngest of the victims, 8-year-old Dorchester boy Martin Richard; 264 others were injured, some lost limbs from the blasts.
In the days that followed, MIT Police Officer Sean Collier would be ambushed and murdered by the wanted men, a civilian carjacked and terrified for their life, another officer would nearly die, and one more would succumb to injuries from the shootout a year later.
Journalist and Boston Strong co-author Dave Wedge joins me to talk about the 10th anniversary of Boston Marathon Bombings and the events that followed in Cambridge and Watertown.
