And this isn’t the first time a runner was helped over the finish line. In 1992, Derek Redmond busted his hamstring mid-way and his dad came on to help him over the finish line.

One of the cartoonists in The Telegraph put together a story of his becoming a father and it’s both enlightening and heartwrenching at the same time. And, being a cartoonist, he illustrated the story himself - to great effect.

Video: Boston marathon bombing survivor crosses finish line on prosthetic leg - Telegraph

21 April 2015 #

Survivors and spectators of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing in the US have reflected on the importance of being back at the race and moving on, two years after the deadly attacks.
The weather was cold and damp but the atmosphere festive at Monday’s running of the marathon, two years after pressure-cooker bombs exploded at the finish line and shattered one of sports' most cherished events.

One survivor had an emotional finish to the race after she was injured in the 2013 blast while watching from the sidelines.

Rebekah Gregory DiMartino, alongside her trainer who is also an amputee, ran the last few miles of the race and crossed the finish line, visibly moved by her achievement.

Donna Scott, mother of a different race participant said: “people will never really heal from what happened two years ago."

"Homeless" Man Versus Businessman Experiment Proves Judgemental Side of Human Nature [VIDEO]

In a heartbreaking social experiment, a man dressed as a homeless person falls down in a busy street in Paris, France. Dozens of people pass by him, no one offering a hand. Then, a person dressed in a suit falls in the exact same location, appearing to be sick, and everyone jumps to his aid.
The video claims the “homeless” man was lying on the street for more than five minutes without anyone offering help. Some of the passers-by stop to take a second look, but still do nothing.

On the other hand, the man in a suit doesn’t even need to cry for help before several people hurry to his side.

While the “experiment” can’t be 100% validated, it still shows an interesting, and unpleasant, side of human nature.

The video also highlights an incident from 2008, when a woman collapsed in a waiting room of a New York City hospital, and the staff ignored her for 45 minutes.

At one point in the video, a caption simply asks: “What if it was you?” A chilling thought considering any one of us could one day be on the wrong end of a snap judgement.
