we were in town so she could look at northeastern univ. we came in thursday night and left sunday aftenoon. workers were busting their ass all weekend setting everything up.. it looked amazing sunday morning. i'm surprised there wasnt a bomb at the prudential center.. that place is always packed.
Very sad thing to happen. My prayers go out to all the families of those involved.
Just accounced 8 year old boy killed. So sick. So sad.
As for your quote, will be interesting to see/hear what the fallout from this is. Events such as this, seem to always trigger changes in govenment policy. It's sad, but true. Korea last week, now this.

Police clear the area at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon.
Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.
Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.
Fox News reported that the suspect suffered severe burns.
It was not immediately clear why the man was hospitalized and whether he was injured in the attack or in his apprehension.
The man was caught less than two hours after the 2:50 p.m. bombing on the finish line of the race, in the heart of Boston.

The library bombing occurred about 4:30 p.m. and more than a mile from the marathon.

Not nearly the same thing (I live here and it was about 22 months ago), but that explosion they keep showing on TV (directly across from the entrance to the library) is right where I was for the Bruins Stanley Cup parade. Maybe about 15 feet closer to the finish line.
Really sad and I feel for the victims and this Country. The first thought that crossed was mind was this was Islamic terrorism. Two bomb blasts and body parts flying. Those bombs were loaded with metal designed to inflict maximum damage. This was a soft target.
It is time to realize that we can't let our guard down against this type of threat.
