#1. Boston Marathon Bombing

On April 15, 2013, two bombs exploded along the course of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring hundreds of others.  Four days later, a manhunt for the suspects of the bombings took place with one suspect being killed while another one was taken into custody after a firefight with police.  The remaining suspect has pleaded not guilty to the charges associated with the bombings.  The touching stories about people who sacrificed their safety to help those injured in the blast will be what most Americans will take from this unfortunate tragedy.  It is in the direst of need that the true heart and character of people will be revealed and none will leave a longer lasting impression than those of the marathon bombings.
