Boston Marathon Bombings

     On the tragic day of the bombings in Boston, we were all considered Bostonians. Three people were killed, and over a hundred were injured. I remember flipping through the channels looking for a game on ESPN and instead they were breaking the news that bombs had went off near the Boston marathon finish line. After hearing about this I immediately went to the internet to find out more and what I found was shocking. I remember coming across images of blood and gore on the sidewalks, civilians running around frantic, and EMTs rushing to help the injured. 

     

     A police officer on the scene recalls hearing a loud explosion and seeing bodies fly into the street. She saw children lying on the sidewalk lifeless, and other individuals without legs. The sight of all of the bodies were unbelievable. The Boston Marathon became an event of dread, as news of the attack spread through the crowd and people awaited word.
