Default Boston Marathon Bombings

Just to get a little off topic. I went down to watch my niece race in the Boston Marathon. Luckily what happened was well away from us and from where she was.

We were going to go in to see the marathon today, but had something else come up. So fortunately we had something else to do. We usually spend time in that area of the back bay, as we belong to Alliance Français (French Cultural Center and Library - on Marlborough Street) and have friends that live and work around there. Absolutely unbelievable!

Oh god i'm so happy you're both okay ... I guess that everyone must be scared in the streets of boston right now. Did you hear the sound of the blast from where you were at that time ?

My nephew works in a building a street over from there and said they heard it in the office. They shut down cell phone service in the area and severely restricted entrance into various areas. Some hotels were in lock down. The MBTA (metro) was checking everyone going in to use the Green Line.

It's great that you belong to that Center. I wanted to donate one of Alizee's "5" cds along with this years Les Enfoires dvd to their library.

We were over 3 miles away and didn't hear a thing.

One family was hit pretty hard. An eight year old boy was killed, his younger sister lost a leg and their mom suffered a brain injury. The kids were there to see their dad finish the race.
