The city had a resilient spirit. It went back to work right away. Some of it never even stopped working, pausing only to type out messages to friends and relatives wondering if they were ok. Blasts always worried everyone outside of the city. 17 died, 130 injured and friends of 12 million wondered if they knew anyone. Most of them didn’t. Most of them saw images on TV and read reports off their computers and ranted on status updates. They ranted about national security, about politics, about friendship and being taken for granted. And people in the city went back to work. It didn’t matter that how they felt and there was no time to mourn. There never was. They needed their jobs.
