BOSTON — Boston 25 News has been commemorating 10 years since the devastating Boston Marathon bombing with special reports, culminating in this 30-minute special. Our team of reporters looks back at the dark week that changed the city of Boston forever. From the shock and despair as a sunny day was blown apart by two bombs at the marathon’s finish line, to the quick response by first responders, to the intense manhunt that followed, this special pays tribute to the victims and the heroes.
Some of those heroes sit down with us to recall what it was like at the finish line that day. First responders who nearly lost their lives share how the experience changed them. We speak to investigators about how the bombers were brought to justice. And we share what has happened to the thousands of items, left at the scene in tribute to those who were lost. Please join us in honoring all the victims and the survivors who remain Boston Strong a decade later.
