New Kids on the Block member
Joey McIntyre and “Survivor” and
“Amazing Race” contestant Ethan
Zohn both tweeted from the
race, telling followers they were
OK and sending their hope to
those at the scene.
“There was an explosion by the
finish line about 5 minutes after I
finished- I’m ok but I’m sure
there are many hurt,” McIntyre
tweeted as the news of the
explosions broke, much to the
relief of his bandmate, Donnie
Wahlberg, who earlier asked his
followers to tweet if they’d heard
from the singer.
“Going to be off twitter for a
while today,” Wahlberg said.
“Many friends and loved ones to
check in on. Please #
PrayforBoston and all those
impacted by this. … Check in on
all your friends who’re fans of
Joe Mac. Knowing BH’s the way
we do, I’m sure some were out
to support Joe today. No words
to describe the pain in my heart,
at this moment, in seeing my city
torn apart this way. So sad.
Please #pray4boston & the
victims.”
Zohn posted to his followers,
“I’m OK. Most importantly,
praying for those injured and
affected by this. Still don’t have a
lot of info. Thanks for your love
and concern.”
