The Boston Marathon bombing occurred on the 15th of April in the year 2013. This was

a tragic moment in history and will never be forgotten. Two bombs went off near the

finish line, and then was followed by a series of shots. This act of terrorism killed three

spectators and wounded over 260 people. After the Boston Marathon occurred, the people

came up with the slogan, Boston Strong, to remind everyone that even in the hardest

times we will still come together as one. Christian Science Monitor gives a brief

explanation on the events that occurred that day and displays it very well.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the catastrophic attacks in the French capital.

This was a different attack that occurred and it killed over 224 people. This article states

that eight brothers were wrapped in explosive belts and armed with machine rifles. There

were several groups like these that would just go around killing people. It is really sad to

think about how people can treat other people like this. Rukmini Callimachi explains in

this article how the Islamic State completely took over Paris and destroyed it.

A series of attacks had occurred in Paris all around the same time. Terrorist groups

invaded Paris and killed over 129 people and injured more than 350 people. Authorities

warned residents to stay inside and the city had closed many public buildings. People had
 been stuck in their homes for so long with the windows covered and doors locked, that

they did not even know if terrorists were outside. The people were too afraid to even look

outside because if an attacker would see them, they would most likely be killed

immediately. CNN gives us factual information to inform us about the terrorist attacks in

Paris and does a very good job at giving it.

There were four planes that were hijacked that day. Two of the planes went into both of

the World Trade Centers, one of the planes went into the Capital Building roof, and the

other plane crashed into a field. Many of the people inside of the World Trade Center

thought that they would be rescued quickly, surprisingly the people that were inside the

building were instructed to not leave the building. Soon enough, hundreds of New York

City firefighters, police, and Port Authority officers arrived at the scene. They attempted

to fight the fires, but the fires quickly engulfed the buildings and then it was too late.

Darity explains the causes and effects that happened during this sad time.
