    I hope wannabe terrorists get the message that U.S. citizens and law enforcement have the will, the way, the brains, and the balls to fight terrorism. This attack will be traced to its roots, no matter how shallow or deep they are.

    Just two days after the tragic bombing of the Boston Marathon, hockey fans gathered at the city’s TD Garden to cheer for their team.

    Attendees accepted and dealt with heightened security as they entered the building and made way to their seats, and the crowd cheered as the color guard brought the flag onto the ice.

    Then, thousands of voices joined together for one of the most powerful renditions of the national anthem you’ll ever hear. Play this NBC Sports video to see it happen.

    Explosions at Boston Marathon finish line kill 3, injure dozens

    A second explosion goes off, rear, as a runner was blown to the ground by the first explosion near the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon.

    By Erin McClam, Staff Writer, NBC News

    Editor's Note: The image below is graphic and may be disturbing for some viewers.

    Two explosions, described by race organizers as bombs, went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday as runners completed the course and thousands cheered them on. At least two people were killed and 23 injured, police said.


    Video from the finish line showed an enormous cloud of white smoke, and about 20 seconds between the blasts. The explosions were strong enough to cause at least one runner to collapse, and emergency personnel carried bloody spectators away. A witness said that she saw people’s legs blown off.

    Divers find sunken German U-boat off Massachusetts coast

    AP

    This sonar image provided by GK Consulting & AWS Expeditions/Joe Mazraani, shows a World War II-era German submarine U-550, found by a team of explorers Monday, July 23, 2012, on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean 70 miles south of Nantucket Island, Mass.

    NBC News staff and wire services reports: Divers have discovered a World War II-era German submarine nearly 70 years after it sank under withering U.S. attack in waters off Nantucket. The U-550 was found Monday by a privately funded group organized by New Jersey lawyer Joe Mazraani.

    "They’ve looked for it for over 20 years,” Mazraani, a shipwreck diver, told The Boston Globe. “It’s another World War II mystery solved.” Continue reading the full story.

    IT'S BEEN FOUND! I grew up on Nantucket. There was a thriving Naval base there in until 1976. This base was instrumental in the finding and sinking of this submarine. Because it was never found there had never been confirmation. Now our boys can know they did their job! Still, though, I will say a p …

Authorities said the then-17-year-old Deveau was texting when he crossed the center line of a Haverhill street on Feb. 20, 2011 and crashed into a vehicle driven by Daniel's father, Donald Bowley, of Danville, N.H., who died 18 days later in the hospital.

    Is it still considered rappelling if they're being lowered down by someone else and not lowering themselves in a controlled way?

    Hundreds of stranded dolphins challenge rescuers in Cape Cod

    Celebrating a small battle won in a much larger war, Misty Niemeyer and Kathryn Rose shared a high-five after successfully releasing three dolphins back into open water Monday . The staffers with the International Fund for Animal Welfare’s Marine Mammal Rescue and Research team, aided by other organizations and a small army of volunteers, have struggled to keep pace with a spate of dolphin strandings on Cape Cod over the last month.

    David Friedman / msnbc.com

    Misty Niemeyer and Kathryn Rose, celebrate successfully releasing three stranded dolphins back into open water on Monday, Feb. 13, in Bourne, Mass. Strandings are normal on Cape Cod in winter, but this year is the highest number on record, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

    As of Tuesday, IFAW has cataloged 177 common dolphins strandings since Jan. 12 -- of those, 106 were found dead and 71 found alive. They attempt to rescue all live animals and get them back to open water, and at least tag the dead ones. It may be months before researchers understand why the numbers are so high this year, but right now the IFAW team is just trying to keeping up.

    Staff and volunteers from the International Fund for Animal Welfare's Marine Mammal Rescue and Research team try to rescue  and release stranded dolphins on Cape Cod. Strandings are normal there in winter, but this year is the highest number on record, according to IFAW. Msnbc.com's David Friedman reports.

    In the two days I spent photographing them for the video above, their phones rang dozens of times with people calling in dolphin sightings. Many were dead animals that had already been tagged, but whenever a call came in about a live dolphin they jumped into action. Niemeyer says of this winter's onslaught, "Our staff’s getting a little tired and little weary, and unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down at any point. We’ve had live animal strandings almost every day for the last week at least, and almost every day, or every other day, for the last month. So there really isn’t any sign of it slowing down yet."

    More than 80 dolphins stranded on Cape Cod shores

    Julia Cumes / AP

    Two stranded common dolphins wait to be transported by an International Fund for Animal Welfare team at Herring River in Wellfleet, Mass., Jan. 19. The dolphins are two in the latest batch of dolphins found, bringing a total of over 80 stranded on Cape Cod shores in the last week.

    More than 80 common and Atlantic white sided dolphins have been stranded along 25 miles of Cape Cod coastline since Jan. 12 according to International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).

    The animal welfare advocates are perplexed by the current situation along the scenic shores south of Boston because it is one of the largest cases of dolphins stranding themselves in years.

    January through April is the typical season for multiple beaching of dolphins and Cape Cod is among the top locations for the phenomenon worldwide, but Katie Moore, manager of IFAW's marine mammal rescue and research said this pattern is unlike past years.

    "It feels like stranding after stranding after stranding," she said. "It's definitely out of the ordinary."

    Despite many groups being stranded, Boston.com reports the IFAW has helped more than 300 dolphins swim out of Wellfleet harbor.

    Reuters contributed to this report.
