The Finish Line: What the bombing was like

Posted: 20 Apr 2013 10:55 AM PDT

This Monday, April 15, 2013 photo provided by Mark Fratto shows his wife, runner Courtney Fratto, and their son Gavin, 3, at mile 20 during the Boston Marathon in Boston. Fratto finished the race just seconds before the first bomb exploded. When the bomb went off just after she crossed the finish line, she ran for safety instead of to the injured. Fratto, a nurse who is the coordinator of intestinal transplants in the Pediatric Transplant Center at Boston Children's Hospital, wishes she could have reacted the way a number of others did. The woman wearing bib No. 19,255 was a flute instructor from Utah, listening to her son singing through her headphones as if the sound of his voice could somehow will her body the last few yards to the finish line.
