If a Boston Attack occurred in Philly, would the community come together in a similar way?

I really have no idea, but because Northeastern cities seem to be the kind of cities that have citizens that would come together in those types of tragedies, I imagine it would be similar.

However, would be interesting to hear what locals say. Or if there have been other events that have occurred in Philly of some nature, that did bring people together. Would be interesting to hear about it...or opinions on that with Philadelphia.

I tend to think this would be the case anywhere in America

If it happened in Philly those men wouldn't have so long to run. Philly doesn't play. But yes we would help each other.

I can`t believe this thread. Not all but most people are good at heart. If that had been the parkway , the response would have been the same.

Honestly I don't know. People are people. Maybe at first. If it was a prolonged situation we'd become like the Mad Max movies. Parts of the city are like that already.

Ridiculous comment. You think the FBI can analyze a crime scene and video footage faster in Philly than in Boston? To suggest anyone in Boston was "playing" is asinine.
