EDITED: Mormon missionaries injured in Brussels

[nikki25]

was also injured in the Boston Marathon bombing. I mean... the odds.

I don't have the article but family of the 19 year old was on CNN just now.

The son and his father ( who was not in Brussels) were at the marathon in the exact block of one of the bombs and were walking away when it occurred. They were injured but slightly.

They stated their son, friend, and another missionary were dropping another person off at the airport when they were injured. They will recover it seems with shrapnel and burn injuries.

I am glad they will be fine but can't even believe the odds. So horrible.

Mormon missionaries....?

[mrshandy]

I read something like that. Apparently he was in Paris at the time of the attacks as well. How terrible.

[smock]

Might want to edit your title . . .

I thought I was having a hard time reading this morning.

I figured it wasnt going to be a post about someone's opinion on the intelligance of missionaries . Im generally on the Travel or Mmm boards but just had to drop a little post over here when I saw that on Recents.

Is it supposed to be moron or Morman? I'm confused.

I love this typo so much.

But getting injuries in both attacks is terrifying. It's like Final Destination.

OMG WHUT? So this 19yo was in all three cities during attacks and was injured in two of them? 

The one article says he was 2 hours away from Paris. 

But still - the coincidence???

[nikki25]

Lol, oops. No, Mormon. I am clearly having a hard time writing and reading because it took me a good 5 minutes to figure out wtf everyone was talking about.

I have 2 year old twins boys. I am literally losing brain cells daily. Sorry.

No, he was injured in the Boston bombing and this one. They didn't mention Paris but I think was around there. Fucking crazy.

Poor kid! I would probably um, not want to hang out with him too much....

Right? His father was like, I think my son has had enough bombings for a lifetime : (

[secretlyevil]

Dude, if this didn't turn him into a hermit, nothing will. I'd run for the most desolated mountain possible and never go back to civilization.

Hahaha, i figured you didnt! Sorry for my lurker replies, it gave me a laugh so i had to comment.

[StrawberryBlondie]

This kid is never going to get anyone to travel with him ever again.

[notreal]

That is an unreal coincidence. That kid is the Robert Todd Lincoln of terrorist attacks.

[andwhat]

I was just coming to post about this. This guy was present at 3 of the latest terrorist attacks and people think he is just a missionary? My spidey senses are going up.

www.nbcnews.com/storyline/brussels-attacks/mormon-missionaries-utah-among-belgian-bombing-survivors-n543446

I think he is going to be under the surveillance of many 3 letter agencies real soon.

[jigsy]

I think it is some incredibly bad luck. He probably thinks that it is a sign that the lord needs him to do his righteous work on earth.

[underwaterrhymes]

That's awful. I'm glad he's okay, but damn.

I will never forget reading about a woman who survived the Oklahoma City bombing, but was killed in 9/11.
