But Boston, being the city that it is, showed their resilience and unity once again.

Singer Rene Rancourt began “The Star Spangled Banner,” but he was stopped short when thousands of fans joined in. He lowered his mic to let the crowd have that emotional moment that signified that Boston, despite its recent tragedy, would not falter in the face of terror.
