Not good for crowd scenes. I got individuals. About eighty news teams were waiting for Dominique Strauss-Kahn to come out of the building everyone else came out of that building instead but him and every other building flooding the area with thousands of people in the hot sun trying to get their cell phones to work to find out what's going on and tell people they were ok. A ladies sofa in Brooklyn fell over someone said. But when I repeated that to a guy I happened to be talking to involved with a new team he indicated that might not be the leading story on the channel two news. I found myself talking to one of the main news anchors on a main station just trading back what we both though was going on. But the only news most people there was interested in was if they were going to let us back in the buildings or not so business could continue of if we were allowed to go home. I was not sure if the subways were working or not. The one I limped in on was going a couple of miles an hour. I walked about a mile out of there before I tried to jump into one. I see no cracks in the walls and the elevator still works. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: Slobodan Dimitrov <s.dimitrov at charter.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:26:39 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Earthquake! > > Horrible photos at the Washington Post! > My 9 year can do better. > S.d. > > > On Aug 23, 2011, at 2:57 PM, Mark Rabiner wrote: > >> News at 11! >> -- >> Mark R. >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ >> >> >> >>> From: Philippe Amard <philippe.amard at sfr.fr> >>> Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >>> Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:39:32 +0200 >>> To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >>> Subject: Re: [Leica] Earthquake! >>> >>> Mark is in NY, >>> and wants that VR now >>> >>> I hear there's no casualty, good. >>> >>> Ph >>> >>> >>> Le 23 ao?t 11 ? 20:31, Tina Manley a ?crit : >>> >>>> >>>> LUG: >>>> >>>> Is anybody else shaking?
