Two bombs were exploded at the April 15, 2013 Annual Boston Marathon.
In all the horror, there are also heartening stories about how kindness emerged from tragedy:
people on Twitter urging others to note the people who run towards the explosions, not away from them, to help;
stories of heroism from runners;
journalists who ran the marathon, springing into action to cover the story;
the first responders.
As we remember to be good to one another in the face of this event, here are some of those initial reports:
Reports of Marathon Runners that crossed the finish line and continued to run to Mass General Hospital to give blood to victims
Some runners offered their jackets to help keep people warm:
“Residents from the houses along the route brought out food and water for the runners.”

Some people are at their best when attending to the suffering of complete strangers!
