Boston Marathon Bombing
The bombing of the 2013 Boston Marathon was a tragedy which killed several people and injured many, but the story behind it is very interesting. The first Boston Marathon was won by John J. McDermott in two hours, fifty five minutes, and ten seconds, forever earning a spot in sports history. The distance of the Boston Marathon is nearly twenty five miles(baa.org). In 2013, two bombs went off near the finish line two hundred ten feet apart. The explosion killed four people and injured over two hundred sixty.

It caused four deaths, the victims being Krystle Campbell, age twenty nine, Martin William Richard, age eight, Lingzi Lu, age twenty three, and Sean Collier, age twenty six. There were two hundred sixty four total victims who were transported to the hospital for injuries. Mr. Tsarnaev never even glanced at the explosion.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a popular and promising student, was asked and somehow convinced by his brother, Tamerlan, to drop off a package at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon. It reminds one of Cole MacGrath from the popular Play Station 3 inFamous, where the bike courier obliviously delivers a package that turns out to be a bomb. Dzhokhar’s brother, Tamerlan, was practically insane. He had been planning the bombing for months before. Soon after the FBI announced them as suspects, the brothers supposedly murdered an MIT police officer, hijacked a Sport Utility Vehicle,
