Yesterday's terror in Boston was an awful reminder that we aren't as safe as we thought. Someone managed to plant at least two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, and reports indicate that among the dozens injured, three were killed, including an 8-year-old boy. However, as many across the Internet have noted, events such as these can also highlight the good in many of us: the selflessness of those who immediately found a way to help administer first aid or scooped up little ones and the infirm and carried them to safety and the fearlessness of those who ran instinctively toward the blast site, including bystanders and the many medical personnel who had volunteered at the medical tent for the race. We've all probably seen that Fred Rogers quote about "watching for the helpers" during frightening events posted here and there several dozen times since the bombs went off. The people on the street showed that "helpers" come in all shapes, sizes, and stripes, but there were also others helping out by using technology.
