On April 15th there was a Marathon race in Boston. At the end of the track, an explosion happened at 2.50 p.m. according to the local time.
The accurate number of injuries isn’t very sure yet, however, it did cause a lot of people getting hurt. I was searching information about the incident just now and I saw a video. The journalists were going to report the happy outcome of the Marathon race, however, instead they are trying to gain as much information as possible in order to inform the citizens about the horrible bombing incident. Explosions were on Boylston Street near viewing stands. That increased the injuries. Lots of people lost both their legs through the explosion; it’s a very sad thing to those people especially to those Marathon runners. They will never be able to run ever again.
According to those news pieces online, I can tell that the U.S. government is trying very hard to find the people who are behind this. This bombing action is not only a danger to citizens, but also has impact to the world. As a strong country in the world, America should do more to prevent this kind of things from happening.
However, we hope those people can recover from this incident. Pray for Boston.
