He ran to the adjacent Nike Park, where CNN has a studio during the Olympics, and was on the air in minutes, at 1:30 A.M., reporting a "loud, concussive explosion." Chris Meyers of ESPN was on the roof of the Chamber of Commerce building that overlooks the park, taping a boxing report for the 2 A.M. "SportsCenter," when he heard a "thunderous boom."
