I expected to hear at least one tale of a brave and prepared soul who led others to safety using nothing more than the Photon II he or she always carries.

Instead, all I hear is tale after tale of people walking through tunnels and down stairwells in complete darkness.

Does that mean that not one person in NYC carries a Photon II? Does that mean people are still as unprepared for emergencies as ever?

Please tell me I'm wrong.
