In the aftermath of Sunday night’s shooting massacre in Las Vegas, many have offered help to the victims and survivors by donating blood and contributing to charities.
The outpouring of support after a traumatic event is similar to what Bostonians saw four and half years ago in the wake the Marathon bombings. Three people were killed and hundreds of others were injured in that attack, and it was thanks to our many world-renowned hospitals, and the efforts of first responders that more people did not die that day.
To discuss the lessons learned from the Marathon bombings, and how emergency response has changed since, Jim Braude is joined by Rep. Harold Naughton (D-Clinton), who is chair of the joint committee for public safety and homeland security, and Dr. David King of Mass. General Hospital’s Trauma Center, who ran the Boston Marathon in 2013 and aided victims after the bombing.
