Boston Marathon bombing

While this site focuses on real estate and related subjects, we also write about significant events in the world around us. Sometimes they are joyful events as when the Red Sox or Patriots become world champions but other times they are tragic as is the case today. Our Patriot's Day holiday was shattered yesterday shortly before 3 pm when two bombs exploded almost simultaneously at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Current reports state that three people were killed and more than 150 wounded, many seriously. Information about the victims is slowly being made public as is information about the progress of the investigation. If the past is any guide, the search for those responsible seems to move slowly at first, but it inevitably ends with a full explanation of what happened.
