在Westin Copley square饭店的新闻发布会后,迅速赶往波士顿医疗中心(Boston Medical Center),在爆炸中受重伤的波士顿大学(Boston University)研究生周丹龄正在此接受手术。
连夜赶到波士顿的中国驻纽约总领馆工作组,由钟瑞明副总领事率队,已在早间探望到从昏迷状态苏醒的周丹龄。她腹部受伤,15日送往医院后已经进行急救处理,脱离生命危险。16日下午1时,周丹龄结束第二次手术后,伤情稳定。
早前结束第一次手术后,无法说话的周丹龄在用铅笔在医院的白纸上,重重的写下“找到吕令子!!”和多个惊叹号,一窥她内心对失踪好友的担心。此外,她还委托领事们向她的亲友报平安,表示她现在感觉良好。
遇难留学生吕令子
当时和吕令子、周丹龄一同前往观看马拉松比赛的同系女生钱婷婷,直至16日依然对昨天亲身经历的恐袭不敢置信,心有余悸地描述了当时的情形。她说,当天中午她们三人一起去看马拉松比赛,中午在餐厅吃完饭后,大约在下午2:40准备去事发街道上的苹果店修手机。由于马拉松比赛刚刚进入冲刺高潮,街道上街头攒动。三人忽然就找不到彼此了。
“就在那1、2分钟的时间内,我就找不到她们了!”而就在此时,钱婷婷听见了第一声爆炸,身边的路人开始奔跑。在几秒钟后,她又听见了第二次爆炸的声音。而此刻人流已经失去控制,还有两人在她面前倒下。之前还在抱怨高跟鞋不适的钱婷婷,在生命危机的时刻已经开始全力奔跑,而当时她离第二爆炸现场仅有30米的生死距离。
躲进苹果店地下室的钱婷婷,和其他一起冲进来的十几人一样惊恐失色。随后,她又随着工作人员的安排从紧急出口走上街道。
“当时我就觉得天上随时可能掉炸弹下来。”周边奔跑着的是她一样惶恐的人群、看到的是遍地的狼藉、实枪核弹的军人、手中握着无法拨通的电话……钱婷婷第一次在生命中感到孤立无助的紧张。
周丹龄远在中国成都的母亲15日得知女儿入院的消息后就心急如焚。目前,中领馆已经拿到波士顿医疗中心开出的周丹龄病情证明,并将尽全力让伤者母亲赴美探视。领事也在16日上午和吕令子在国内焦急万分的父母通话,并安慰他们将尽全力找到失踪孩子的下落。
包括中领馆、波士顿大学校方、同学会在内的所有机构16日开始全力搜寻失踪女生吕令子的下落。在波士顿医疗中心的等候咖啡厅一角,俨然成了临时指挥部。领事们给校警、市长办公室、各大医院打电话,同学们发动所有联系人,马不停蹄的紧张寻找她的音讯。
11:52分,波士顿热线发来短信,“she is fine.”同学们立刻往回拨电话证实;12:15分,领事摇头说校警还是没有消息;13:40,“有校友说发现一名尚未证实身份的亚裔女子,”
一个接一个的电话、短信,焦虑、欣喜、失望、担心的情绪交杂在此。
Chinese student killed in Boston blasts
EPA © The Chinese Consulate in New York says a Chinese student was killed in the Boston Marathon blasts.
A Chinese student is the third person killed in the Boston Marathon blasts, the Chinese Consulate in New York says.
An official at the consulate's press section, who was not authorised to give his name, said that one student was injured and another died in Monday's blasts.
The official said a work group from the consulate was in Boston to investigate the situation and assist relatives of the victims.
Boston University said on its website, it said the victim, a graduate, was among a trio of students who had gone to watch the race at the finish line.
A second student, identified only as female, was in stable condition after undergoing surgery on Monday and again on Tuesday, the university said. The third student escaped harm.
China's official Xinhua news agency reported that relatives have requested that the deceased not be identified.
The other fatalities included eight-year-old Martin Richard from the Boston suburb of Dorchester and 29-year-old restaurant worker Krystle Campbell from Medford, Massachusetts, north of the city.
"Everybody that knew her loved her," Campbell's mother Patty Campbell, overcome with emotion, told reporters outside her home. "We can't believe this is happening. This doesn't make any sense."
Phoenix Satellite Television Holdings, a Hong Kong-based broadcaster with ties to the Chinese government, said the deceased was a woman from the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang who was a graduate student in statistics at Boston University.
A team led by Deputy Consul General Ruiming Zhong was in Boston to investigate the situation and assist relatives of the victims, the consulate's statement said.
波士顿爆炸案:炸弹是压力锅 由定时器控制(徐澍)
随着警方对波士顿爆炸案的持续调查,有越来越多的细节开始显现。有调查人员表示,嫌犯使用的炸弹是装满了榴霰弹的电压力锅,该“巨型炸弹”被装在背包中,并且由定时器进行控制。
在现场进行调查取证的专家称,该起爆炸案件中的爆炸源被列为杀伤力较低等级的炸药,也就是说爆发的每秒速度较低,不超过3300英尺,这一爆炸强度并不能造成可以以气压伤害路人或者震碎建筑物窗户的冲击波,但是足以推动弹片扩散到很大的范围,因此伤害范围很广。而警方对第二次爆炸地点的调查显示,炸药中包含了明显是蓄意扩散波及范围而加入的球轴承和气枪弹药。
波士顿警察局长官艾德·戴维斯在新闻发布会上表示希望能够有更多目击者将现场的照片和录像递交给警方,而这些资料可以是爆炸发生前后的一段时间内拍摄的,都有可能为警方提供有用线索。
在昨晚警方已经连夜进行搜查,其中搜查了一栋位于波士顿市郊的公寓楼,问询了一名男子,排查了几件可疑行李及垃圾袋,但案件的调查仍然没有大的进展。目前他们也在关注是否有事先租用面包车以及爆炸发生后立即离开现场的可疑人物。
