This little girl died today in the Boston Marathon bombing as she was walking/running in honor of the fallen at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Very sad.

The ME and Asian carriers would laugh at tiny capacity increase numbers like that. They are planning on many tens of times that amount in a relatively short period of time too.

Very well spoken.

Very sad. How did she end up at the finish line at 4:04 hours. That would be a very impressive time for her. I'm guessing she was given a head start.

The 8 year old that was senselessly killed at the marathon bombing was a boy. CNN released his name this morning. The other two are allegedly adults . So I'm not sure where that pic came from. Poor kid, may he rest in peace

Also, within an hour of the bombing a fake twitter handles was attempting to scam donations. Some people deserve a kick in the groin.

I wonder if there's a special place in hell for people who kill kids?

Well said.

The problem is fundamentalism.

I'm to the point when something bad happens like this I turn off the news or just put it on mute and come back in a few hours. They pass through information with no filter which is fine but it usually turns out to be only about to be barely correct or completely baseless. And some of that comes from authorities and still turns out to be wrong.

I'll put it this way, Chuck Yeager was once asked about the end scene of The Right Stuff where he ejected and he said the only thing that they got right was that an F-104 crashed and he was piloting it. The rest of it was fiction.



I think early reports from the news and internet are just as fictional sometimes although for the most part unintentionally so. It's just the nature of the business. Unless it's Mayor Bloomberg, then it's probably complete B.S.
