The woman is a hallucinating Konspiracist Krackpot. I watched the video over and over and could find nothing.
Right, no blood trail, despite just having his legs blown off, where is the blood? I think the actors thought everyone knew it was all a regular bombing drill, then later found out that it was much more involved and was actually a drill for martial law as well.
I am completely and utterly disgusted by you necrophiliac ghouls who try to score your conspiracist crackpot points on a man who lost his legs. Only a truly sick, soulless person thinks everything in the world is a conspiracy.
This does not appear to be at the Boston Marathon - no smoke, no debris, no ambulances or other emergency vehicles on the scene, does not appear to be filled with panicky people, etc. If so, I'd like someone to identify the address.
If this guy had been injured in a blast 'only moments ago' he wouldn't already be in a wheelchair and capable of sitting up while someone pushed him around a street corner. A person who was amputated that day would not already have a prosthetic.
This took place at another date and place, the man might be impaired but it wasn't from something only minutes before.
Having spent two hours looking at this video and comparing it with other photos of the Boston bombing ... YES, it took place at the Boston Marathon. My estimate is that it was filmed within ten minutes of the explosions. The man in the wheelchair is Jeff Bauman, the civilian running beside the wheelchair is Carlos Arrendando, a Red Cross volunteer and peacenik who was the first to reach him and put on the tourniquets. Bauman had lost both legs in the explosions. He remained conscious at least until they got him in an ambulance, and as soon as he came to, he was able to describe the bombers.
There is at least one still photo of this scene, but it usually was cropped in publications because the view of Bauman's shattered leg is so upsetting.
No hoax. The image is real. I am not sure what that third man (in the yellow EMT jacket) was doing; whether he was picking up something or fastening something or maybe just trying to help them get Bauman to an ambulance while he was still conscious. But it's no hoax.
