In all the chaos of yesterday at the Boston Marathon, there are some heart warming stories that show there are still some good people out there.
1. Those that helped out others

2. The Boston Police Department
Seconds after the blast happened, the Boston Police Dapartment was there to help others amid the chaos:

7. Man literally holds artery to save victim’s life

The man in the cowboys hat is Carlos Arredondo. He is an immigrant citizen of the U.S. who lost his son in Iraq and is now a peace activist and speaker. When the explosions happened, you can see that he did not hesitate to run towards the chaos and help, obviously trying to get this poor man out of there and to hold a tourniquet on one of his severed legs. Later, he was being interviewed, visibly shaking from shock and holding an American flag, soaked in the blood of other people. Carlos Arredondo’s selflessness and bravery should be known and applauded.

And finally:

There are many stories out there. Ordinary men and women helping out those in need, and many will go unnoticed or forgotten. There were many that went towards the danger not knowing if there is another bomb or not and we at ViralRead thank them.
