On April 15, 2013, which is
tax day, some very disturbed individual or individuals set off bombs
at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. When I first heard this I
thought of 911. A pressure cooker filled with metal, nails, ball
bearings and other shrapnel was used in the bombing. There were three
people killed, out of the three dead was an eight year old boy. A
total of 170 people were injured. The authorities are asking people
around the finish line that were taking pictures or using their phone
to contact them so they can look through footage. The Boston Marathon
attracts people from all around the world. An 11 year old boy from
Martinez California was at the finish line, to see his mother cross
when the bombs went off. He is in critical condition. President
Obama said "This was a heinous and cowardly act, and given what
we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an
act of terrorism," and "Anytime bombs are used to target
innocent civilians, it is an act of terror." Who is responsible
for this cowardly act? We will find out in the days to come. This was
a sad day for people all over. Is this going to be what we have to
worry about bombings, like over in Iraq? I sure hope not. My prayers
go out to all the people who were hurt by this dreadful act.
