One Year Later: Chronicle of Boston Marathon Bombing and the period of healing that followed it to be published in 48 hours before exact anniversary

1 year ago, our city was attacked.

Attacked by faceless criminals who lacked compassion or even a single acknowledgement of human life. These criminals, one of which is now dead committed a brutal act of terrorism that left 3 people dead upwards of 15 without limbs and hundreds of others riddled with muscular and skeletal trauma caused mainly by an assortment of metal projectiles inserted into the bombs. On April 15th 2013, at just after 2 Pm, the Tsarnaev Brothers tried to tear our city and our most unique sporting and cultural event of the year apart.

But we did not let them. After they massacred and maimed the people of Boston with indiscriminate weapons then turned the streets of Watertown into a late night warzone as they fired upon heroic police officers and SWAT team members who tried to stop them we in Boston proved that we were and still are strong.

Sure we needed help and sure there was sadness, times of great greif and anger over what had happened and that will never be forgotten nor diminished. But at the same time, we responded to this tragedy the only way that we in the birthplace of the USA could. Strong.

We never quit, we never asked for pity. We remembered and we we respected the victums of the bombing while working towards a state where nobody on earth may ever have to deal with this kind of brutality, this kind of truly unnecessary attack ever again.

As we approach the 1 year anniversary of the attacks, Go Titletown will publish 5 articles remembering and chronicling the period of healing and strength that followed the attacks.

Furthermore, in symbolic action, the last of these posts will be posted as the point in time exactly 6 seconds after the 1 year anniversary of the first bombing and 6 seconds before the 1 year anniversary of the second bombing. That moment will be 2 hours past noon and 49 minutes and 14 seconds.
