Medical workers run a badly injured man past the finish line the 2013 Boston Marathon following an explosion in Boston, Monday, April 15, 2013. Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.

This is unspeakably horrible. So unspeakably horrible that - I’m sorry - it has to be seen and shared. In my heart, I feel, “This is too much. Just too much.” But in my mind, I know, “He’s not the only one. There are more still.” I’m enraged to the point of helplessness, saddened to the point of numbness, and drained to the point of sleeplessness. It’s 5am in Beijing; I’m going to call in sick.

I saw this picture a few days ago and, perhaps naively, didn’t notice the exposed bone.  I’m shaken.
