A college student who miraculously survived the Boston bombing — and was featured in an iconic rescue photo from the tragedy — died in a car crash in Dubai, her mom said Monday.

The beautiful 23-year-old Northeastern student, a native of Weston, Connecticut, was in a car with fellow student Priscilla Perez Torres during the fatal accident, according to a spokeswoman for the university.

Maybe it is just me, but I don’t think I would travel to the Middle East, if I had been a victim of the Boston Marathon bombing. Seems like there are other places to see in the world, IMHO.

The scriptures teach us that no one is promised tomorrow.

So ALWAYS have your affairs in order and tell your loved ones that you love them. You may not have the chance to tell them later.

my thought too.
WTF was she doing there.
A lib from Massachusetts wanting to right the wrongs of the world?
Cost her her life.

Blown up by Muslims, she makes a “personal trip” into the barbarian collective and dies.

You can’t make this up, no one would believe it.

A former coworker up and moved to Dubai about four years ago. She’d spent the preceding couple of years waiting for some d*mned breed of kick-dog, then was heartbroken when she had this great idea (Dubai) when she found out the dog couldn’t go. Apparently there’s work there, and there’s wedding bells (or whatever they use in muzzie-land) for western women, particularly blondes. And we get rid of the crazy and mudfence part of the dating pool.
