I agree completely.

It's pretty obvious that Susan P didn't mean any insult toward marathon runners -- I can't imagine that anyone would get offended by anything she posted, especially considering the topic of this thread. I mean, seriously, people died; people lost limbs; people were injured and terrified. I don't really think it's an appropriate time to get nitpicky over an innocent comment about marathon finishing times.

I realize that emotions are pretty raw about this tragic event, but let's not take it out on each other or I will have to close the thread. In the immediate aftermath of such an event and for some time after, there will be a lot of conflicting statements and corrections of previous statements, so I would like to ask everyone to keep that in mind and not argue about the details.

Thank you.

On Monday at about 3:00, I decided to check online to see who won the Boston marathon. I was in shock when I saw a reporting of a bombing. I have watched the race before in Boston and it such a fantastic experience. Such a horrific tragedy, where lives are changed forever in a blink of an eye.

One thing I learned from the Newtown tragedy, is that there is a lot of inaccurate news reporting in the first 24 hours following a horrific event. I avoided the news the last couple of days, but did see the commentary below.

This article is so true...thank you for posting this. And you are correct, so much inaccurate reporting that time will flush out what is reality. So sad, my hearts go out to all the families whose lose I can't even begin to imagine.
