Oh, with all that shaking and breaking glass in store windows, and you’re thinking all that good loot just sitting there for the taking wouldn’t have been a major temptation in the ghettos of New York and Chicago?
9/11 was a whole different ballgame than an earthquake which is an equal opportunity disaster as far as location of impact. The average New Yorker did good in 9/11.
Just as the average Chicagoan did good in the big snow last month, offering help to stranded people and sharing goods and services - there was no looting when it would have been the perfect time for it with all the city shut down.
