    There was a married couple from TX, one of which ran the marathon while the other waited at the finish line. The runner finished 5-30 min (I don't remember but close) before the 1st bomb and neither was injured.

    They went home - to West, Texas - neither was injured.

    Father of suspected bomber: Give up peacefully | National News - The Schnitt Show

    Click here for more photos from the manhuntThe father of the suspected Boston Marathon bomber is urging his son to give up peacefully. Anzor Tsarnaev spoke with ABC News from his home in Russia and warned police that if his his son Dzhokhar is killed, "all hell will break loose." Police are searching for the 19-year-old suspect in the Boston suburb of Watertown after his older brother, the second Boston bombing suspect, was killed overnight in a shootout with police.

    Their father told ABC he had talked on the phone with his sons earlier this week because he was worried about them following the deadly bombing at the marathon. Anzor Tsarnaev believes his sons are innocent and wants his son who's still alive to come back to Russia.

    A little off topic, but I can think of one man who's luckier than that couple... Tsutomu Yamaguchi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    He was working in Hiroshima on the day a nuclear weapon was dropped. He survived with some minor injuries, and went home to recuperate. Home to Nagasaki. Where another nuke got dropped on him.

    He died at the age of 93 in 2010.

    I read an article about him the other day, and would you believe it, at the ripe ol age of 93, they still blamed the bombs on his death...

    Amazing how we granted visa's "after review".. educated them in the public school system (per news proll'y accurate) News media interviews everyone from teachers to neighborhood friends..social interaction seems real normal.. So from Chechnya's hostile government to whats arguably our most liberal state..

    and they hate us... how does that work.. i'm having a hard time wrapping my head around going from "that" to dropping an IED next to an 8 yr old..

    That's what's wrong with our country! We let all these crazy ass people in, give them visa's, help them get education and what thanks do we get? Bombs and a lot of hatred! From what I under stand the whole neighborhood where these guys lived was from Chechnya.

    Better to potentially get info out of him than none. Come on, you don't know exactly what went down. No one does.
