Lifestyle May 15, 2013
On April 15th 2013 the world's most prestigious marathon known as the Boston Marathon experienced a horrendous incident that caught the world off guard leaving at least 2 dead and more than 100 injured live.boston.com reports.
According to npr.org the 2 explosions that occurred on site were literally seconds apart which caused instant chaos with participants screaming & running, notably shaken up.
Once police hit the scene and emergency relief began attending to the injured, crowds were ushered away from Copley Square.

Just when you thought the grand, annual event could not get any more horrific, a third explosion kicks in at JFK Library and this time it's believed to be fire related. At first the third hit of the day was believed to be related to the marathon but cnn.com has reported that this initial belief has been dismissed and a person-finder has been set up by Google for friends and families looking for reports on loved ones at the scene.
The White House has also issued a statement saying that President Obama has been notified of the tragedy and that his administration is in contact with authorities. The President will also be making an official statement today.
