"You know again it was a bad day. Three people died that’s terrible, more were maimed that’s horrible, but unfortunately that happens every day in car accidents and everything else,” Maher said. “I mean your city was not leveled by Godzilla.”

The bombing killed 3 and injured 264 including 17 who required limb amputation.
