| Two comments here. I don't know if you were in L.A. for the '94 earthquake, Laura, but one of the things everyone commented on was how many stars were out that night. They are always out, we only saw them because all of our power was out and there was no light. And the darkness was weird for us. So I completely understand and agree with your point here. Also, like ashleym below, I was also a "plane person" but not in Gander--I was stuck in Brazil. Previous to 9/11 I spend every other week in NYC working for about two years and have good friends living there. I could not call them. I could not be a part of the national angst and bonding that was happening in my home town over this terrible tragedy. I was isolated, along with a small Continental Airlines crew, in a luxury hotel watching planes take off for five days going anywhere but the USA. It was a terrible, terrible feeling. So I am dismissive of the poster who says sitting on a bus in the dark or on a plane in the dark isn't dramatic--it certainly is if you are the one to whom it is happening. | |

| Dang! bicoastal, are you a mind-reader? I very nearby mentioned being in LA for the quake and how dark, dark, dark the sky looked, but figured camping in Montana was more succinct. Though the experience of frequent aftershocks in the dark added to the fear factor, which is more relevant to the thread than a camping trip. We were two and a half miles from the epicenter. For that matter, I was here for the Sylmar quake, whch hit on my 11th birthday. :) But I didn't go outside to see the sky that early morning; was nursing a terrible shiner from walking into my bedroom door in the dark, trying to get to my parents' room.

| Yep, Montana was more succinct, but the city lights vs city darkness resonated! | |
