Descriptive Paragraph Boston Bombing
English 101
Descriptive Paragraph
8/27/2013
On April 15th, 2013, 117th Boston Marathon took an ugly, sad turn for the worst. I am a reporter for Channel 7 news; I was scheduled to cover the Boston Marathon this year a job I wasn’t too thrilled about since I had no interest in the story. Little did I know this story would change my life and be the most horrific story I would ever cover. I gave the runners some time to cool off before I made my way to the winners to get an interview from each of them. In the middle of my interview with the third place winner I heard a very loud explosion about north of Boylston Street, followed by another explosion just moments later. The Second Explosion caused police to draw their weapons; you can see the look of terror and confusion on their faces as they cleared the street. As I rushed to the side lines I could see massive amount of blood, bodies, and limbs covering the street, an image that will forever haunt me. You can just see the look of fear and anger among the family members and loved ones of the victims’. Everywhere I looked there were people crying, screaming and praying, such a heartbreaking scene and I was right in the middle of it all. So many people lost their lives or loved ones that day, I was lucky enough to escape only with a few scrapes, and horrific heartbreaking memories. This story changed the way I view my life I am grateful for every step I take, it can be taken from you at any time without any warnings.
