The Boston Bombing can be indentified as a centripital force because the whole country came together as one in the time of need. Within 18 minutes of the explosions, all victims were removed from the scene and transported to the hospital. According to npr.org people sent quilts, running shoes, bears and many other items to Boston in tribute of the runners. Many organizations were created in honor of this horrible event. "One Run Boston" is a relay from LA to Boston, 2,000 runners participate in this relay! Blue and yellow scarfs were knitted and sent to the runner to show comfort and strength! NBC says that most of the runners are "running for those who can't". Although many flashbacks occur during this time, the people of Boston know they must stay strong and just keep running.
