re: A survivor story from Tower 2

He spoke to each of the Morgan Stanley trainee classes early on in their training rotation. He talked about how the 1993 bombing changed their entire protocol and even demanded upgrades to the buildings stairwell lighting and other upgrades. They also had a strict evacuation protocol that was implemented and activated immediately at the indication of any threat. The safety officer for each floor was in charge in the event of any emergency—irregardless of job title.

Also, Morgan Stanley was in the process of moving its HQ to Times Square. Although Rick didn’t mention it in his speech to our group, this was apparently also at least partially at his urging. As a result, numerous floors of Tower 2 were already vacated.

Ultimately, the 1993 bombing prompted changes that saved far more lives than it took. Mostly because of Rick.

I went through this training in June of 2001 and I absolutely remember Rick’s presentation. He was cool. The type of guy you would expect to be exactly the selfless badass he was
So the coach is to be forced, by the government, to continue serving in his current role. Involuntarily.

He is also to be deprived, by the government and without due process, of the liberty to pursue his chosen career.

Sounds perfect and not at all unconstitutional.

The only question I would have for crew is why not call him out for abandoning attempt.
I would think that the race to 1b (and theoretically even the throw) were irrelevant.
That’s likely to be 3 very tough outs
Looks like 5-2 now too 6.
Dutchtown. 3run hr per GC

Not really. If it’s Hope, yes. But if it LSUS or SEU loses, then the if necessary game becomes the championship and the tie breaker rules determine who gets the bye to that game. Look at the text in bottom left portion of the bracket

Huge stop on 2-pt. attempt with 1:56

Recovered onside. Back broke free from scrimmage and had the presence of mind to go down, and keep the ball.

Shreve stifled Airline’s passing game.
Airline couldn’t stifle Shreve’s running game (or its own, untimely turnovers).
