Monday, April 15, 2013, should have been a joyful day of friendly competitiveness and sportsmanship at the Boston Marathon. But the day turned into horror and tragedy when two bombs exploded in Boylston Street, leading up to the finishing line.
The last
report I saw stated that 3 died and there are over 140 injured. One of the dead
was a boy of just 8-years-old.
This latest vicious
and senseless atrocity is yet-another reminder that terrorism is a global
problem. When it strikes, innocent people die and others are maimed. The trauma
lasts a lifetime. We all live in fear of it, because extremists strike
anywhere, at any time, with no regard for loss of life.
As of this
writing, the identities of the terrorists responsible and the reasons for this
attack is a mystery. I hope the perpetrators are caught quickly and justice is
swiftly served.
Thoughts and
prayers are with all the victims, their families and friends.
It was such a horrible and sad event. We are subjected to so much tragedy lately. Good to see they apprehended the terrorists. I say a prayer for all those innocents hurt from this.
