Two explosions 20 sec apart at the finish line of the Boston marathon. 5 undetonated bombs have been found. There are many injuries. Apparently a lot of lower extremity injuries. Two people have died in the explosion as of now.
Praying for the injured and families

I keep seeing this on twitter and really don't get why this expression keeps cropping up

It's obviously terrorism, we've just been lucky that it's taken 12 years for a second attack to succeed. There are people who hate you for being born and want to kill you. Welcome to the world at large.

I think its more that we have some of the best law enforcement (Local, State, Federal, Miliitary, ETC..) in the world.... not just luck. I would like to thank those who keep us all safe from those who wish to do harm.

I brought this up today to a friend of mine. These days, ANYONE can make a bomb, put it in a backpack and place it somewhere to kill people. It's a combination of luck and LEOs hard work that has kept us safe for so long.

True, too true. Can't remember who said it, but "We need to be right all the time, the terrorists only need to be right once"

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, I believe she was at the NSC at the time. It's more or less what she said.
