Having said that, there was an article interviewing a guy coming up to the finish line, who heard the first blast and thought it was a celebration of some kind, then heard the second one and saw people down, realized what was going on and he turned around and ran the other way - newly energized.Keep Reachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251896778558452358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-10569794337147268772013-04-16T08:35:53.392-04:002013-04-16T08:35:53.392-04:00You sure are in tunnel vision once you see that li...You sure are in tunnel vision once you see that line.

Of course, any terrorist related death is just as tragic as another, but to attack this event is even more craven, twisted and sick - especially since it is the very antithesis of the simple-minded, reductionist, narcissistic and humanity-denying mindset of the terrorist.Keep Reachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251896778558452358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-80564265706445332352013-04-15T23:24:56.426-04:002013-04-15T23:24:56.426-04:00THX TM!
