I did not. I have worked with the Philly bakery on several occasions, and a few of my close colleagues are out there currently on projects. Fortunately, none of them were injured, but my prayers are with the families of those affected.
I didn't even know about the incident until I got an e-mail from my boss letting us know that my team members who're currently working projects in Philly were all accounted for and OK. All I know beyond that is what I read on the Philly news sites this morning.

It's not, and never has been. At the time it was invented (early 1900s, Philly was apparently associated with high-quality food products, according to our corp history site). It's made in three places, none of which are in PA - a little plant in upstate NY on the edge of the Adirondacks (the place I lived for a year), a small town near MSN, and in SGF.
The Philly bakery only makes Nabisco products - mostly crackers, but they also make Lorna Doone shortbread cookies.
