(which included eight enhanced medical tents), and two additional medical tents at the finish line. This particular medical system was thought to be able to handle a large capacity of patients, and prevent overloading local hospitals with mild, less critical injuries. Immediately after the explosion, the Boston Marathon medical personnel organized into groups and established a casualty collection point. All critically injured patients were taken to hospitals within the hour, and each patient survived. The medical team installed by the Boston Athletic Association was expertly prepared for a disaster that would injure many people. They were able to successfully sort and tend to people who were missing body parts. The medical personnel calmed victims, remained professional, and stayed focused. The medical team ran the medical system very effectively while people screamed, sirens wailed, and blood pooled around them. By implementing an advanced medical system into the 2013 Boston Marathon course, the Boston Athletic …show more content…
Hundreds of Boston’s medical responders had learned the basics of treating blast-injury victims, and how a bombing could affect their city. “In 2009, Rich Serino, then Boston's EMS chief and now deputy administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, hosted the first citywide “Tale of Our Cities” [leadership] conference in Boston” (Kellermann, 2013). Doctors from India, Spain, Israel, Britain, and Pakistan spoke at the conference. They spoke about how to handle blast-injury situations. The speakers had managed the consequences of terrorism attacks. They shared their experiences, leadership skills, and medical processes. People with jobs in security, emergency, trauma, and medical fields attended the event. Anti-terrorism knowledge was incorporated into Boston’s medical and social network through the 750 Boston locals that attended the
The events of March 5, 1770 should and have been remembered as momentous and predictable. Perhaps not the night or city specifically, but the state of affairs in Boston, if not throughout The English Colonies, had declined to the point that British troops found themselves frequently assaulted with stones, dirt, and human feces. The opinions and sentiments of either side were certainly not clandestine. Even though two spectators express clear culpability for the opposing side, they do so only in alteration of detail. The particulars of the event unfold the same nonetheless. The happening at the Custom House off King Street was a catastrophic inevitability. Documents from the Boston Massacre trial, which aid us in observing from totally different perceptions. The depositions of witnesses of the event prove to be useful; an English officer Captain Preston and a colonial Robert Goddard give relatively dissimilar details. In spite of these differences, they still both describe the same state of affairs.
The Oklahoma City Bombing was a domestic terrorist bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 19, 1995. It was lead by Timothy McVeigh, an Army veteran of the Persian Gulf War. The explosive was a homemade bomb which was built by McVeigh and the help of Terry Nichols; the bomb consisted of a deadly cocktail and was put inside a rented Ryder truck in front of the Murrah Federal Building . McVeigh then proceeded out of the truck and headed towards his getaway car a few blocks away. He then started the detonation of the timed bomb at exactly 9:02 A.M. then the bomb exploded. To the people of Oklahoma it was a traumatizing moment for all, many lost families, dozens of cars were incinerated and more than 300 buildings were destroyed and caused about $652 million worth of damages. The “OKBOMB” affected hundreds of people; it killed “168 people -- 19 of them children -- and injured more than 500.” (CNN.com) Within 90 minutes of the explosion, McVeigh was pulled over 80 miles north of Oklahoma City by a state trooper who noticed McVeigh's missing license plate. He was later arrested for having a concealed weapon. From there, a investigation was held and agents found traces of chemicals on McVeigh’s clothing similar to the ones from the bomb. They learned that McVeigh’s plan was due to the anger over the events at Waco Siege two years earlier. The bombing investigation was one of the most exhaustive in FBI history; “the Bureau had conducted more than 28,000 interviews, followed some 43,000 investigative leads, amassed three-and-a-half tons of evidence, and reviewed nearly a billion pieces of information.” (FBI.com) Oklahoma City bombing was “considered the worst and the largest terrorist act eve...
On September 11, 2001 terrorists crashed two American airline airplanes into Twin Towers, killing thousands of people. It was the worst terrorist attack in American history and it showed us that we are not protected by Atlantic and Pacific. It showed us that we could be attacked by anyone at anytime. It showed us that if we will be attacked again that we can only depend on each other and not on other nations to help us. The 9/11 changed people forever, some lost family members or friends, others lost their jobs even so called “American Dream.”
Memorial employees were respected members of the community before the storm; they had been the heroes before, saving countless lives in their day to day jobs. Nurses and physicians had already been seen by the public as those who help the hurt and injured. In The New York Times article “Critical Conditions” “author” discusses the conditions in which the employees of Memorial hospital worked in.

Therefore, this paper will analyze specifically the role of differential association- reinforcement as altered by Akers in propelling Dylan Klebold to commit such heinous act, while also giving credit to Edwin Sutherland for first formulating the framework of differential association.

At long last, today the trials of the British soldiers finally concluded! It has been many months since the Boston Massacre occurred on March 5th. I remember that day extremely clearly. I was at my home in North Square when I heard loud knocks and shouts coming from outside my property. I was completely terrified to see what the predicament was! Five years ago a mob ransacked my house and almost killed my family and we barely escaped with our lives! It was only due to my support of the Stamp Act this happened. However, this time I decided to take the chance in order to find out what the dilemma was. As I opened my door I was greeted by colonists urging me to help them stop the violence and unrest which was being committed on King Street.
