Good God...........why? :cry:

In memory of those who have lost their lives, those injured and all their family and friends :heart:

I'll be at the London marathon on Sunday. My best friend is running, but I'll now be there in protest. We can't live our lives in fear of these evil people.......damn!

    Wow. Just landed in Dubai and your post here alerted me to this.

    Fortunately, only two dead. Could have been much worse, obviously.

    On a side, note, we are constantly bombing villages throughout this region. The vast majority of people killed are innocent. But it never registers, there is no press. I've always felt that any death is a tragedy, whether someone killing Americans, or Americans killing someone else.

    The harsh reality is that there is much more of the latter than the former.

    Oh my, that's terrible. I just glanced at the BBC and it said 2 dead. I guess that's so far.

    Just terrible. So senseless.

    Cnn is reporting 2 dead and 20+ injured, but the numbers are rising, and they just found more (undetonated) bombs.

    I'm off to the London marathon on Sunday as my best friend is running in memory of her brother that died of bowel cancer!

    I really have no words to express how people can be so callous in light of the good causes that prevail at these events.

    Goddam SOBs!

    Terrible news. Just shocking. Can't believe there are some people on other threads complaining it has nothing to do with fitness either so shouldnt be discussed. Just sick.

    Have a worrying feeling my cousin is studying in Boston, but can't remember.

    Anna, I just saw this. I work a few blocks away from the area, but I had the day off due to the state holiday, so I was home, north of the city. Kate and I have texted, so I know she's ok too!

    What the hell is wrong with people to do things like this though!? So sad and scary!

    Was just coming on here to check on you two. So glad to hear you're ok.

    I heard from my friends that ran today. All are shaken, but safe.
