Marathon Explosion: Here's How You Can Help

Two explosions rocked the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday morning, turning an otherwise happy day into an American tragedy.

At times like this we can feel overwhelmed with emotion and confusion. However, even those far from Boston can help by making a donation to the Red Cross, which will be assisting victims.

For those trying to contact friends and loved ones, the Red Cross Safe and Well site is designed to let people know you are just that. To register, click here.

Google Person Finder, a tool built following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti for those hoping to locate loved ones, has launched a similar service late Monday afternoon. To list yourself or check for a loved one with Google, click here.
