The validity of this article as a news story is, as written, disputed. Wikinews does not publish reports on events that are not sufficiently recent. For synthesis, new details must have come to light within the past five to seven days, and the news event itself must have happened within ten days. Unless sources can be found and a news event chosen to bring this article into compliance with those requirements, the article may be deleted. If any new details from the last five to seven days are newsworthy in their own right then an article could be written with these updates as the actual news event. Exceptions are possible where original reporting adds significant new and newsworthy information to the article.
Please try to resolve objections on the discussion page, or move the article to Wikipedia or another sister project where it may be more relevant. |

On Tuesday afternoon, for the first time since 4/14/2013, at 2:49 p.m., Boylston Street and the famous “finish line” of the Boston Marathon was safe at 2:49 p.m. EDT, the 889th minute of the day (890th if you count the minute between 00:00:00 and 00:00:59). Yesterday, at that time, two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon’s finish line, located on Boylston Street, at 14:49:43 and 14:49:57, leaving three dead and 200+ injured. On what was supposed to be a happy day and a day of celebration, the explosions, which are being investigated as a terrorist attack, turned this day into one of the saddest days in Boston’s history.
