I'm so glad my family is OK. My sister found out her friend lost her leg during the explosion though. Just awful..
Oh Landers. That is awful. My thoughts and prayers go out to your sister's friend. And to all of Boston for that matter.
Quote from lifexpert :
Just saw the video online, it was awful. I was walking to the finish line. Luckly, I made a few mistakes today. Forgot my wallet on my way out was the one that slowed me down. I could have been there, at the bomb site.
Oh wow. Guess forgetting your wallet was a lucky thing indeed. Walking to the finish line? You must have run the rest of it pretty quickly huh?

I know somebody that was supposed to be on the roof of the Pentagon on 9/11 - his job was delayed by paperwork that morning. I still get chills when I think about it.

Glad you're ok.

Seriously I was very mad at myself before that. I first forgot to pickup someone from the airport then I forgot my wallet so I have to go back home in order to get my T-pass. I was frustrated that I am getting old.Stick Out Tongue . Now I feel like to get hammered for how lucky I was

Agreed, the day, location, and type of bomb used seems like it was by someone who is anti-government.

I say this because we had this same issue (except no one died fortunately...) a group of militiamen were wreacking havoc, getting bombs etc.. they were caught when the owner of a joint was actually a nark but the group was planning a bunch of bombings/killings and he was undercover in it.. (as you said, a bunch of nuts) people are just.. diguisting.

As I watch the news today I thought about what a joyful occasion the day should of have been. What is the purpose of a bomb? To destroy the joy and hope and faith by harming others. What a terrorist cannot possibly understand is that they cannot possibly accomplish this for the long run. There will always hope. Always.

Best wishes boston.

Quote from LadyD :
whatever. ppl cannot stop other ppl from dying. we can only pray that GOD HIMSELF heals those ppl.
So what you're saying is the next time someone becomes critically injured to not call 911 or get medical assistance because only god can heal.

Now do you see why you're called a troll?
