The Not-So-Explosive Guide to Boston Marathon Explosions (Because Two Was Plenty)
The Boston Marathon is a legendary race - a test of endurance, a showcase of athletic prowess, and...apparently, a target for rogue pressure cookers? That's right, folks, we're talking about the shocking (pun intended) events of 2013.

But How Many Booms Actually Dropped That Day?
Brace yourselves (or don't, there won't be any more explosions...hopefully) - there were two. Two whole explosions that rocked the finish line, struck fear into hearts, and sadly, took innocent lives.
Fun Fact: This wasn't a competition to see who could build the biggest bomb. The two explosions were spaced out by a mere 14 seconds, basically the time it takes to yell "Oh no, not again!"
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
Why are We Talking About This Anyway?
Look, this was a serious event that caused a lot of pain. But we can also acknowledge the absurdity of it all. Who brings a homemade bomb to a marathon? Did they forget their running shoes? These are the questions that keep us up at night (though maybe not as much as the actual explosions kept Bostonians up that night).
Important Note: We in no way make light of the tragedy of the Boston Marathon bombing. We remember the victims and honor the heroes who responded.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
So, that's it, huh? Just Two Explosions and We Move On?
Pretty much! The good news is, the bad guys are gone, and the Boston Marathon is back, stronger than ever. Except for maybe the security measures, those are definitely stronger than ever.
