Norton Woman: 'We Are Lucky to Be Alive'

A Norton mother who was close to the explosions at the Boston Marathon Monday said she is lucky to be alive.

"Me, my husband Kevin and my daughter Rachael were at the finish line 50 feet from the explosion, we saw our friend Mike Everson go by and were waiting with our video camera on for our other Norton friends," Nancy Weber told Norton Patch in an email. "I have the explosion on video and our reaction, I screamed run to my daughter and you can see all the feet and chaos. It was horrific! we are so lucky to be alive!"

Weber told the Boston Herald that she knew it was some kind of terrorist attack.

“The fear was that we were going to get bombed again,” Weber told the Boston Herald. “I knew it was some kind of terrorist attack. Then we heard the next bomb. ... I called my sister immediately because I wanted someone to know we might not make it out. We were running for our life. Then we got disconnected. So I texted her, ‘I don’t know if we’re getting out.’ You just don’t know. We were so close to losing our lives.”

According to the Herald, Weber, her husband and her daughter made it out safe.
