Subject: Number 5 (Man in blue, Boston Blasts: Bystanders Giving Aid)

From the page http://cryptome.org/2013-info/04/boston-bystanders/boston-bystanders.htm

Number 5 (man in blue with shorts, not jeans) is goaltender Matt Reis of the New England Revolution (Major League Soccer), who's wife was running in the Boston Marathon:

Per an interview he gave to the media:

reis-says-support-injured-father-law-

Matt had moved just before the explosion to get a better view of his wife crossing the finish line. The man he returns to the scene to help is his father-in-law John Odom, pictured in this Daily Mirror article:

away-retirement-friends-reveal.html

Reis used his belt to tie a tourniquet around Odom's leg in a move that likely saved his life, this can be seen in photos "4:10:26" through "4:11:13". Odom, who suffered severe damage to his legs and lost a large amount of blood, has since been through six surgeries in an attempt to stabilize him:

Bystanders who aided victims of the Boston Marathon bomb blasts have not been individually recognized. Those who aided in the first four minutes deserve admiration for quick action which likely saved lives. Some are shown below.
