With regard to the London marathon, there are a number of runners with run both races Boston then London, I imagine who ever did this bombing is hoping to put fear into them and and the other London runners/supporters.
Our prayers are with all those hurt and effected by the events in Boston. |
Oh, that is scary! Here is hoping that all stay safe across the pond and you all have no copycats of this or anything else goes wrong. I imagine it will have many feeling awfully jittery at highly-touted public events for the next several months. Who would think taking your little kid to watch a marathon race would wind up getting it killed or injured or panicked around large crowds? I heard earlier that one of the confirmed dead in Boston is an eight year old child!!! And I saw some film of one little kid crawling around trying to find a hiding place or something - right after one of the blasts.
It seems like the second bomb went off too early, thank goodness. I heard them say once again that the intent of two explosions, one shortly after the other, is to get people running away from the explosion and right into the other one to maximize injury and terror. I doubt many people had much time to get to that second bomb blast area before it went off. Boy I hope they get the gutless scumbag(s) behind this terror ASAP!
