Victoria McGrath, Boston Marathon bombing survivor, killed in Dubai car crash

[Fla Dem]

How very, very, sad to survive one tragedy only to die in another. So heartbroken for her family. I hope during the almost exactly 3 years from the bombing she and her family lived each day to the fullest with love.

A college student who was badly wounded during the Boston Marathon bombing — and whose gutsy determination to get better inspired other survivors — was killed along with a classmate in car crash in the United Arab Emirates.

The deaths of bombing survivor Victoria McGrath and fellow student Priscilla Perez Torres were confirmed Monday by her mother and Northeastern University in Boston.

“We are stunned, shocked and heartbroken,” McGrath’s mother, Jill McGrath, wrote in an email to NBC News.

2. sad and unfair

3. Yes that was the feeling I felt too. Unfair. She already had her brush with death.

But then all tragic deaths are unfair, this just seems more so.

4. Wow that is horrible luck.

One tragedy is bad enough but two in so few years is unreal.
