I know this is totally selfish.

There are about 60 people trapped on The Tram a few blocks from my apartment, and have been trapped since about 5pm.  Ever since then, there have been helicopters circling around.  I assume they are a mix of press and police choppers, but that really doesn’t matter.

What matters is that I’m trying to go to sleep, and every time I get right on the edge of sleep…chop, chop, chop, chop…the sound of the helicopters coming back over my apartment building jolts me back to reality.

Last time I checked, it was going to take hours to rescue everyone.

I can tell this is going to be a long night.
