April 15, 2013 Boston Bombing: Two explosions in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon leave 3 people dead and 183 injured. This day is actually Patriot's Day (The first battle in the Revolutionary War) as well as Tax Day. On top of that, the 26th mile in the marathon is dedicated to the children murdered at Newtown, Connecticut shooting. Some of the runners were the parents of the deceased children. The U.S. FBI later recovers forensic evidence suggesting the two explosive devices which exploded near the finish line were pressure cooker bombs, placed inside heavy black nylon bags containing shrapnel -- homemade bombs
