Boston Marathon Photos

As we all know, at approximately 3 p.m. yesterday, twin bombs exploded in Boston near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon. The news has reported that three people died due to the explosion, and over one hundred people had to seek medical attention. Quite a few of the injured had to have limbs amputated as well. 

Although this was such a tragic event, the media covered it well. As a former student journalist, I'm impressed by how quickly the media was able to keep the nation up to date with what was happening in Boston. Many of the photos and videos posted by photojournalists are very heartbreaking, including these three photos below.
