How Visual Evidence Influenced the Boston Marathon Case It’s April 15th, 2013, the 117th running of the Boston Marathon. The runners line up at the start, with thousands of fans along the sidelines, all eagerly waiting to see who the next Boston Marathon winner will be. At 2:49 pm, the event went from cheerful to tragic. Within 12 seconds, two bombs go off 100 yards away from each other, killing three people, including an 8 year old boy. In today’s trial cases, lawyers are itching for any type…

The Boston Marathon Bombing occurred April 15, 2013. It was a terrorist attack upon the United States. The Boston Bombing was a double bombing that killed 3 people and profoundly injured “at least 264” (Boston Marathon Terror Attack, 2013). The bombing occurred at the finish line of the marathon. The bombing led to “an intense manhunt that shut down the Boston area. Sometime after the bombing, police captured one of the bombing suspects, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whose older brother and…

143 days, in hopes to find a cure for cancer, costing him his life. This great Canadian hero was named Terry Fox, born on July 28, 1958. He created the Marathon of Hope to raise money and to help find a cure for cancer; therefore, our greatest Canadian individual was Terry Fox. Terry Fox can be considered a courageous man, because he ran the Marathon of Hope while he had an amputated leg. Terry was compassionate because his run was devoted to raising money for all cancer victims, most of all he…

“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world,” stated famous Greek inventor, Archimedes . One of the city-states of Greece, Athens, used their adept shipbuilding skills to create the most powerful navy the world had ever seen. Using this great navy as a ‘fulcrum’ the Athenians protected their territory and fended off dangerous enemies like the Persian Empire. The main component of this great navy was a type of ship known as a trireme. The ancient…

Primack (2013) led a study that shows the effects of warming temperatures on winning times in the Boston Marathon. He and his three co-authors, Dr. Abe Miller Rushing, Dr. Nathan Phillips and Dr. Robert Kaufmann, examined the timing of the Boston Marathon runners from the years 1933 to 2004. They found that when warmer temperatures and headwinds occurred the day of the race, the runners were indeed slowed down. The reasoning for this research was to further their focus on climate change from…

In 490 BC, 10,000 Greek warriors charged against the opposing Persian army, composed of 25,000 soldiers. These soldiers were fighting for everything they loved, their land, country, family, even the world. King Darius had to destroy the Greeks to continue his Western expansion, but the Athenians wouldn't let that happen. Most Greek city states surrendered when Persian messengers asked them to, except for the opposing Athenians and Spartans, who killed the messengers. This meant war against the…

answers. Fresh off the Chicago Marathon and my first skydiving experience a few months after that, my mind was open to the next new adventure. I wasn’t actively seeking anything in particular, but just open. When you think like that, things seem to come your way. It’s just a matter of if you’re in tune enough to notice. This was a case where I indeed noticed, but was way out of tune. Poor time aside, bragging rights were in order after completing the Chicago Marathon for the second time. There…

at the Boston Marathon. Small portions of videos were broadcasted on the television showing people running and screaming for their lives. Not everyone was able to get away unfortunately, people had been hit by the two bombs that caused mass destruction at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. (add sounds of the bomb going off coming through the tv for better hook) Fear should never come at the finish line, it should simply be victory but that wasn’t the case at the Boston Marathon on April…
