Boston Marathon Bombing Film Set, Massachusetts

A movie set depicting the residential street in Watertown where the police hunted for and found the surviving Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, remains, decaying, on the edge of the old runways of the former Air Station at South Weymouth. The set was constructed in 2016, for the filming of Patriot’s Day, about the 2013 marathon bombing. A portion of Boston’s Boylston Street was also built on the old runways, for filming the explosion scenes for the movie. Just a few facades of the set remain there today (with a green strip at the top to aid in the digital compositing of the upper stories of the buildings). Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is on Death Row at the Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.
