So many people are suddenly watching the news just so they can find out about the next interesting detail or live coverage on the boston marathon bomb suspects. my parents won't shut up about how fascinating it is. they don't even realize that its a tragic event that occurred and that watching this news for amusement is wrong.


Answer
Hi,my dear.They are watching just for the enforcement of law and justice!They came too late to this conclusion that flirtting with the terroists is meaningless!?Just remember India,s terrorists attacks!?Terrorist flirt!?

Why is the Boston Marathon Bombing getting so much news coverage and so memorable?

I'm not at all trying to downplay the tragedy in Boston. What I am wondering though with regards to news coverage and details about it, "Why is it such a national tragedy" rather then a 1 or 2 day news story. In 1998 there was a school shooting in Oregon where 4 people were killed (2 in the suspect's home and 2 at the school) and it was tragic but a 2 day only news story. The Boston Marathon Tragedy is being covered more like the Oklahoma City Bombing or the Sandy Hook Shooting where many more lives were lost.
So what is it about the Boston Marathon Bombing that has made it such a news story and I presume an historic event that will be a "where were you when you heard about the Boston Marathon Bombing". When the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993 there was another major story two days later that got just as much coverage so even that was a two day news story even though there were updates. the Vanderbilt News Archive showed the Waco Shootout two days after the WTC Bombing got almost just as much coverage. Whereas the West Texas Explosion a day or two after the Boston Bombing got very little coverage due to the Boston Bombing.



Answer
The Boston Marathon is an international sporting event with international participation.
And international media coverage.
The US media knows the eyes of the world are on them to provide information.
That's why it's getting so much coverage.

What's your excuse for not knowing that?
