Boston Marathon bombings/Photos

Aaron Tang was further away from the first explosion site than Ben Thorndike, therefore his area shots can cover more space. He also was able to capture the event over a longer time span. All relevant pictures from his Flickr account, that help to explain how much time has passed between the explosion and the rescue of Jeff Baumann, will be posted here.

One of his first shots after the first explosion, the thickest smoke has vanished and people can be seen on the ground as well as broken glass from the windows behind.

A photo zoomed further in, it is displayed one position later in the Flickr stream, which seems to be very few seconds after the one before (1)

Again a photo directly following the one before in the Flickr stream, again seems to be very few seconds after the one before. The fence separating viewers from the street is completely intact and will be removed in the minutes to follow.
