whistleblowers hunger sugar's they didn't receive a lot of attention from mainstream networks but the boston marathon bombing was wall to wall coverage it was a huge story this year you were in boston right after the bombing in one of the you know a wild few days in the city with the manhunt for the bombers to shoot the eventual capture of george or not what was it like. well you know sam this was the biggest terror act in the united states since nine eleven and certainly to say the least was absolutely tragic and of course tragic and of course unexpected and i think one of the bigger things that people learned from it was that. this sense of security that we've kind of become accustomed to sort of in the united states this sometimes sense of security because of the measures that are put in place all over the country that kind of tell us that a lot of being is being done to make sure these terrible things don't happen this bombing showed people i think this year that. nothing it is as secure and safe as it feels in this day and age and certainly was just a very tragic sad event and the city of boston
