Hunter Walker - 3:23 PM EDT, Monday April 15, 2013
A pair of explosions that caused damage and injuries Monday afternoon near the finish line of the Boston Marathon in Copley Plaza did not occur on the ground, an eyewitness told TPM.
"There were two big bombs," said Michael Smith. "Right up top in the window like in a building or something."
Smith answered the phone in a Lindt chocolate store at the corner of Boylston and Exeter Streets, near where the explosions occurred. He said he did not work at the store but was taking refuge there after the blasts. Smith said he is a New Yorker who was in town because his wife was participating in the race.
"I was standing right by the finish line," Smith said.
Smith said the explosions seemed to occur in two different locations less than a half mile apart, but both were above street level.
