@cwillie,

I will always prefer a taxi when available. I have never taken an uber and technically I'm still considered the 'younger' generation.
I don't know who these people are. A taxi has a radio and they are in constant contact with their dispatcher. A taxi driver has his cab license clearly visible because it's always laminated and on the dashboard. Give me a taxi any day of the week.

Welcome back BC.Regarding taxi vs Uber, I took my kids to Denver two weeks ago. We took a evening flight that should have arrived around 10pm. The plan was to catch the hotel shuttle from the airport to the hotel. As luck would have it, our flight was delayed and we didn't get there until past midnight. Hotel shuttles stop running at 11:30 pm. I was so glad to see a short row of taxis waiting right outside the baggage claim exit.. At 12:30 am, I didn't want to stand around at the airport with two young girl waiting for a ride. Thank for taxis.

Watching the LSU college World Series. Geaux Tigers!

If LSU loses this game they are out. 😞

Sad ending for the passengers of the submarine who were going to explore the titanic.

Rest in Peace.

Very sad, Need. I have been following the news. A rescue looked pretty hopeless from very early on.

Golden,

Yeah, I don’t think anyone had high hopes of them surviving.

I'm glad their death was probably instant from what I've heard rather than a long, fearful experience.

God Bless their families.

I have horrible claustrophobia. I would never be able to do a submarine excursion.

Nor would I be able to get on a rocket ship and travel into space.

I would love to see the scenery but I couldn’t handle that mode of transportation.

I absolutely hate MRI’s in the hospital. Some people don’t suffer as much from claustrophobia. I have had panic attacks and had to close my eyes in order to get through it.

Gershun,

I feel absolutely awful for their families. Indeed, God bless their families.

I am glad the Coast Guard found them. Not ever knowing what happened is the worst.

Sometimes, I think about Amelia Earhart’s plane. We will never know exactly what happened.

Amen, NHWM; I have a friend/colleague whose mom died in the North Tower on 9/11. No body or anything ever found. The lack of ability to bury something is terrible for her.

Report

Gershun yes. It sounds like their death was mercifully fast.

Barb - Agreed. Not having tangible evidence of your LO and what happened to them has to be the worst! So hard to process the grief.

Need - I think of her too and have read some accounts, but no one really knows what happened to her.

I'm sorry about your claustrophobia. It must be difficult at times. I don't do well with heights. I'm ok in an airplane but even leaning over a banister can make me feel weird. and I could never do a summersault except in the water.

Receiving the important news from friends on this forum has made the tragedy feel like I am less alone in being very sad for the victims and their families.

RIP sub-voyagers.

My dH will not watch the news with me.

I share in the grief, sadness, and losses of everyone here, especially those who are empaths and sensitive to world tragedies.

Very sad and tragic.

The sad part is the CEO kowingly cut corners on this build and refused additional testing. Arrogance and stupidity caused this tragedy. He bragged about using a Nintendo game controller to operate the sub and hired young, green engineers to work on it because he didnt want to hire old white guys because they weren't cool enough and wouldn't maje a good story.

Barb,

I can’t even imagine what your friend is going through. It’s the worst.

Golden,

I am really weird when it comes to dealing with heights. I’m fine in certain situations and uncomfortable in others.

Barb,
My DH worked in the North tower , left that job a year before 9/11. His former secretary was found sitting near the bottom of a stairwell pretty intact still clutching her purse . Autopsy revealed she succumbed to smoke inhalation , the building collapsed in such a way that she was in a void . Not sure if she died before or after the collapse. My DH also knew a husband and wife who also died, leaving small children behind . My DH knew 7 or 8 people from his floor, 62 nd. who perished . For a good 10 years my DH couldn’t watch videos every time the news would play them on the anniversary, nor would he talk on that day , unless he had to . He used to take our son there on take your kid to work day . My husband’s screen saver on his computer is a picture of our son and my DH on the roof and the roof of the other tower and the sky is behind them .
