Yesterday, two timed bombs went off near the finish line at the Boston Marathon. This tragic event has affected the country. More than 100 have been reported injured, and 3 people have died. Our country is still trying to comprehend this horrible attack, as it is the worst attack on U.S soil since 9/11. To read more on the bombing click here.
The bombs have been reported as being made of pressure cookers, put inside backpacks, which were placed near the finish line. For an event like a marathon, many people where backpacks around. Therefore, it would have been extremely difficult to catch the attackers before the attack (even though there were many police and dogs at the event). Do you think anything else could have been done to prevent this incident? Also, do you think our countries security for large events, such as sporting events or marathons, should be increased in general? If so, how? Please post thoughts below.
