to bring this back to life, and to further make my point that
a) the Boston marathon damage could have been a lot worse and we’re lucky
and
b) running marathons is semi retarded
The Toronto marathon was held yesterday, and 3 people were killed. One an 18 year old girl runing the race who died 3kms from the finish line. Two a motorcylcist who accidentally blasted into some pedestrians. Three, a man running the race who died (went VSA) but was brought back to life by emergency crews.
Pretty incredible. I can’t fathom wanting to run a marathon on purpose. I was a competitive middle distance runner when I was younger, but running 42 kms is insane. Do people forget the origin of the marathon story? Didn’t the original ‘marathon’ runner die when he delivered his message?

Very interesting view point. That’ll change my thoughts of this. More scary is the post of the cover up.
The conspiracy theorist will always be able to find random anomalies that should be there when they are. Doesn’t mean the whole thing is fake.
Also, all of those pictures in that link are one-off. You can’t find a different picture from a different source that shows the same thing. Who’s to say they aren’t photoshopped.
