Well, yesterday I was working on my computer on one of the upper floors of the Empire State Building in NYC, and suddenly everything went dead. Phones, computers, lights, elevators. Bam. We thought it was just the ESB, but it was all of New York and much of the East Coast.
Three hours later, we got evacuated. Many dozens of floors down, I saw thongs of people trying to get home. It was organized chaos. Streetlights were off, but people were volunteering to control traffic. People were giving away free water to those who need it. It was a display of solidarity and goodness. No looting, no panicking. Really brings a tear to my eyes.
I walked from the ESB all the way to Queens, over the bridge, along with thousands of people. Things were really crazy. I wish I had my camera with me. The really adventurous came on their bikes/rollerblades just to take some professional shots.
Anyhow, its about 13 and a half hours later, and I can get my computer to boot to post this, just so you know what happened.
