The Boston Marathon was hosted in the big city of Boston on April 15, 2013. 26,839 runners started the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, but only 17,600 crossed the finish line. The bombings caused a huge devastation to everyone around the world. The bombing caused great stress for the thousands of participants. Many had to finish the run with the fear of being killed or injured.
Who would want to devastate the United States with another uncalled for tragedy? The Boston Marathon effected not only Boston, but everyone in the United States and around the world. It was a huge shock and devastation for all the families who lost a loved one, friend, co-worker, etc. The question for many was, why would they hurt innocent people trying to good for their country? No one could imagine the great fear these participants faced, knowing that a bomb had just gone off during a family fun event. The lid of the one of the pressure cooker bombs was found about 35 feet away from the explosion on a hotel roof. Even though there was a low casualty rate, people loss there since of well-being because of the massacre. Everything that went on still traumatizes people still today. …show more content…
There is still a massive scare at the Boston and every marathon ran today!
The amount of bombs that were set a lot of didn’t explode as they were hidden well and no one set them up. The Boston Marathon now brings in a lot of money from people making donations and remembering of the people who lost their lives. The Boston Marathon is still open to all runners 18 and up. The reasoning behind the bombing is not sure, but it also made the security at the races a lot higher. The Boston Marathon didn’t really damage much with the United States economy, but made people a lot more aware at all the marathons ran
today.
Many marathons are now having security officers all across the marathon course which provides for extra protection. No matter what happened during the bombing and how it happened, nothing can really help the families that were lost or injured due to explosions. There is still a donation page that is still up to raise money for the families that have bills from the hospital and other damages they may have occurred during this time. The Boston Marathon survivors received help from a lot of hospitals across Boston. I believe this may be one of the worst massacres to happen all over time, as so many families were heartbroken just looking and hoping to see their loved ones cross the finish line at the end of the 22 mile course. The Boston Marathon is the oldest marathon in the world that still goes on!
Everyone always tries to make their own conspiracies on what they believe really happened which bothers me a lot because there was a ton of proof that it actually happened and some sources had it live. Many pictures have been released showing some of the damage spots where the bombs were detonated and the slow cooker bomb had plenty of proof that it was actually detonated. The fans are also very worried about and very aware when they stand around to watch the Boston marathon take place. The amount of runners went down the next year but then went back up after people started calming down about what went on the year before then started making donations to help bring people back and help raise money for everyone who was involved in the historical event.
