Somewhat related aside:
You know how you can watch 1 YouTube video, then follow a rabbit trail of related or semi-related YouTube links? Yesterday I found myself watching some of the raw World Trade Center footage from 9/11. Haven't done that in a long time.
It got to me. I thought of those people. Many were FUBAR-ed no matter what they did or carried. But how many would have made it out alive if they were more tuned in to the kind of thinking on this thread?
It saddened me.
