In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon explosion that claimed three lives and caused critical injuries to many others, the Boston police have requested video and photos taken by spectators near the finish line. Their hope is that they can glean information from pictures or video taken by individuals on mobile phones or other devices. CNET reported that while bystanders have posted video and images on Twitter, the media mainly is of the moments after the blast. The article said investigators will likely be focusing on media from earlier in the day for possible clues.
