Boston Marathon Bombings Cause Disruption Of Cell Service Due To Call Spike

Boston Marathon Bombings Cause Disruption Of Cell Service Due To Call Spike

Yesterday's Boston Marathon was ended prematurely as two bombs were set off close to the race's finish line, injuring over a hundred people and killing three as of this writing. But at the height of the chaos, a number of reports claimed cellphone service was shut down by law enforcement as a way to ensure additional bombs wouldn't be set off, which turns out to have been false according to a number of wireless carriers. According to wireless carriers Sprint, AT&T and Verizon, cell phone usage within the area during the bombing spiked, which resulted in a disruption of service.
