Also, the air was filled with smoke. What alarmed me was that I wasn't awakened by the approaching sirens. I found that odd. And that folks were just milling about, no panic or interest in the carnage that surrounded them. Then noticed that one of the fire trucks had a ladder go up to the top 7th-floor window of the corner building across the street. But there was no activity by the window, and, indeed, there were two people positioned on the roof above. Then saw a woman exit the lobby of that building, holding a clipboard. Followed her down the street, where I saw one of them huge film vans. That's when it all clicked. The basement walkway at the corner building (with the firetruck ladder) had been converted to a subway stop. And the air turned out not to be filled with smoke: it was just extremely foggy that morning. Law and Order, Season 6 Episode 13: "Charm City" -- Prologue Scene. There are some B-roll shots of my window. Had I known in time, I would have mooned them.

Only when a screwup, one of which was mentioned in the piece, happens do the regular authorities step in. The city can only do so much to notify people of what's going on. It doesn't help that there can be significant turnover in terms of who's living / working nearby. The larger point here, is that the blinkin' Post, home of, f'rinstance, Page Six, is making a rather large point of this. B -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
