2013 Boston Marathon Bombings The incident ‘April is the cruellest month’, and there is a reason for that. The 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings occurred on April 15. The day was ideal for running. It was the 117th Boston Marathon and the arena was full of participants. It was 11:00 am and all the 27,000 participants were ready to start the race. The race ended at 12.36pm. The best thing about Boston Marathon is not the runners, but the spectators who cheered on with full zeal and enthusiasm (Ehnis & Bunker, 2013). But things took a gory turn at 2.49 pm when the whole venue rocked with two explosions. The explosives were two homemade IEDs or Improvised Explosive Devices.
