Bright sunlight filtered through the awnings of the medical tent pitched in Copley Square, where I joined the many medical professionals caring for people who'd fallen ill from their 26.2-mile run. Some volunteers had been staffing the medical tent for years — one nurse had worked at the Boston Marathon more than 25 times.

A bad day for Boston
Na drie dagen was een vermoedelijke dader gearresteerd, een tweede
gedood in een shoot-out met de politie na een massale klopjacht waarbij
delen van de miljoenenstad Boston waren afgezet. Beelden van tot de tanden
toe bewapende arrestatieteams en ferme woorden van nationale politici en
vertegenwoordigers van diverse contraterrorisme-organisaties staat een ieder
bij die de nasleep van de aanslag gevolgd heeft. Wat ging daar aan vooraf,
welke verschrikkelijke terroristische daad gaf hiertoe aanleiding? Volgens
sommige media “the worst terrorist attack since 9/11”. Maar was Boston
daadwerkelijk geconfronteerd met iets dat een vergelijking met de aanslagen
in 2001 kan doorstaan? Verre van dat. Hoe erg de aanslag ook was – elk
slachtoffer is er een te veel –, met drie dodelijke slachtoffers veroorzaakt door
snelkookpanbommen gaat het om een relatief kleine aanslag (en bovendien
minder dodelijk dan bijvoorbeeld de Fort Hood shooting van een paar jaar
geleden). Het door de media en sommige politici en beleidsmakers refereren
aan 9/11 is in dit licht ongepast en onverstandig. lees verder

Video footage from the immediate aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013, captured wrenching images of first responders rushing to the aid of victims scattered across Boylston Street. Yet despite the apparent chaos, order and structure quickly took shape. As in many cities, hospitals and emergency responders in Boston have made planning, training and rehearsing for disasters a high priority in the years since September 11.

Profile of Boston Medical Center’s Chief of Trauma Services Dr. Peter Burke and BMC’s Roles During the Boston Marathon Bombing
Peter Burke had just finished the morning session of a medical conference at the Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas when the news flashed on a lobby TV: two bombs had exploded near the Boston Marathon finish line, turning an annual celebration into a war zone.

Minutes later he received an emergency text message from Boston Medical Center (BMC), where he is chief trauma surgeon. The unit was inundated with the grievously injured from an attack that killed 3, among them BU graduate student Lu Lingzi (GRS’13), and wounded at least 260. Many of those rushed to BMC were battling for life, with mangled legs, collapsed lungs, and profound blood loss. Burke called his chief nurse to find out if there was any way he could help from a distance of nearly 3,000 miles. The answer was no.

Belangrijkste les die dokters geleerd hebben van de bomaanslag in Boston is het belang van de tourniquet.

Boston doctors reveal lessons learned in marathon attack
Eighteen minutes after the first bomb ripped through the crowd on Boylston Street, wounded and terrified patients arrived at Boston Medical Center.
"So much, so many casualties all at once," Boston Medical Center's Dr. Alik Farber recalled.
BMC took in 28 patients, ranging from a 5-year-old child to a 70-year-old man. People were bleeding, moaning with shrapnel the size of iPhones splitting their legs.
...
But perhaps the biggest lesson learned, several doctors say, was the value of tourniquet use at the scene, something Blansfield -- an Army veteran -- had been heralding for years. ...

Proces tegen verdachte aanslag Boston niet verplaatst
Het proces tegen de man die wordt verdacht van het plegen van de aanslagen op de marathon van Boston in 2013 wordt niet verplaatst. Tsarnajev kan de doodstraf krijgen.

Tsarnajev wil dat hij in een andere staat (zoals New York of Washington) berecht wordt in plaats van in Massachusetts omdat hij denkt dat hij een oneerlijk proces krijgt. Of zou het eraan kunnen liggen dat hij in New York of Washington niet op de doodstraf hoeft te rekenen?
