Monday afternoon two explosions rocked the finish line of the Boston Marathon detonating 10 seconds apart. The Boston Globe reported at least 120 people injured and 2 killed, including an 8-year-old boy. The Associated Press reported at least one additional explosive device was found by police and they executed a controlled detonation.

At least four students from the U were registered for the race and the Daily Utah Chronicle has confirmed that they are all well and safe.

Marta Fay, a Ph.D. student in oncological sciences, finished the 26.2 mile race before the explosions and was in the family waiting area when the bombs went off.

“I was sitting on the curb so I felt the explosions pretty well. I was behind a building so I didn’t see any debris, but the explosion definitely shook me,” she said.

Fay was able to use a cellphone to call her family to make sure they were OK.

“We didn’t know they were bombs but you could tell it wasn’t a good sound. It sounded louder than thunder and there was no thunder forecast,” Fey said.

She was able to get out of the city with her family, despite closed subway stations and not being able to find a taxi.

“There was still adrenaline after the race just trying to get out of there, which doesn’t usually happen after a race. Moved quicker than ever just trying to keep up with people and get out of town,” she said.

Kevin Smith, a Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering, finished the race an hour and a half and was at his brother’s house a quarter mile away when the bombs exploded. He said the explosion sounded like cannons.

“It’s just ridiculous what happened. People’s happiest day of their lives [for] some people and their families are all there and now they have to worry about whatever this was,” Smith said.

Despite feeling unsure of the situation, Fay is undecided whether she will participate in another marathon.

“You’re not really in a correct mindset when you’re finishing a marathon, let alone finishing a marathon and then bombs go off,” she said. “You feel bad for the 4,000 people that didn’t get to finish event because they closed the race. And they trained just as hard and they don’t get to finish.,” Fay said

The Salt Lake City Marathon will continue as scheduled Saturday April 20 according to Peter Handy, founder U.S. Road Sports who organizes and operates the race.

Handy said because it is still early and not much information is known, organizers will wait to talk with local law enforcement to make any decisions about changes to security. He said they do not want to get ahead of themselves and jump to conclusions when making last minute plans for the upcoming race.

Sgt. Mike Richards of U Police is in charge of event security involving the race when it travels in proximity to the U, and said police have not made any decisions on changing security at this point. They will meet with those involved with the marathon Tuesday morning.

“I’m suspecting it will be a major topic,” Richards said.
