I have read many accounts of the tragedy. One poignant one is of the blind runners with a coach that crossed over the finish line five minutes before the first explosion. I heard today that the bombs were made in a pressure cooker and filled with scrapnel to cause as much injury as possible and then placed in trash cans along the route. I always wanted to do this marathon when younger. Such dedication & motivation. Even people on skate boards with no lower limbs, and people in wheelchairs do the marathons. So inspiring!!! Phillipa
