The Boston Marathon explosions have left many looking for an explanation behind the tragic events that unfolded on Monday. As people scour the web for answers, YouTube has made it easier to stay up-to-date on the latest developments.

Hours after the explosions took place, the video-sharing website launched an official YouTube Spotlight page devoted to "Explosions at the Boston Marathon."

At the time of this writing, the page has 26 videos, with 47 minutes of footage in total. They include U.S. President Barack Obama's address to the nation following the deadly blasts, as well as news reports from reputable media outlets including Bloomberg, AP, CNN and The Boston Globe.

YouTube's parent company Google also extended help in the explosions' aftermath. On Monday, the search giant activated Person Finder — a tool it built following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti — to aid in the search for victims of the Boston Marathon explosions.

Two bombs exploded near the annual marathon's finish line, killing three people and injuring more than 100, according to the New York Times.
