Indian American Marathoner and Family Escapes Boston Bombings
Bangalore: Ajith Pai, an Indian American runner and his family escaped the twin bombings during the Boston Marathon as he was successful in finishing the run about an hour before, reports PTI.
But the family had to search each other for hours after the blasts, which resulted in anxiety among the family members, as reported by dallasnews.com.
"We got in touch briefly to know they were okay," Pai was quoted as saying. "They were on the other side of the finish line. They wouldn't allow them to come where we were."
"The weather was fantastic. Everyone was in great spirits. The crowds were amazing. Everything was awesome. For this to happen was very sobering. I'm happy for my family and sad for those that weren't so lucky," Pai said.
3 persons were killed and more than 140 injured in two blasts near the finish line of the annual Boston marathon on April 15.
