I was living in brooklyn and there was an unending line of white walkers streaming over the brooklyn bridge and down my street. What struck me is how people who might not normally be hanging out with each other were all in it together that day. Secretaries and bankers and janitors and lawyers. Sharing water, carrying each other’s stuff. New Yorkers can be tough talkers but they got a lotta heart.
I see the woman on pictures left walking barefoot with shoes in hand. Years ago, we held evacuation drills every three months. Our building was a 28 story office tower. Many office workers kept spare running shoes in their desks to quickly put them on for the long trek down 25 or more floors. Fire Marshall’s would stop anyone with “unsafe” footwear from wearing them while on the stairs.

I wonder if they are still alive? So many died from the tower's dust.
