LTYM - Directing Traffic

Letters to a Young Manager

Directing Traffic, #429
LTYM >

Please note that this letter is in-process; the following are my notes

Dear Sophie,

***

Story I told during interview with Margareta Barchan:
Blackout of 2003 in NYC as example of the positive in the human spirit to rising to the need in a crisis and helping their fellow man (of course, in 1975, many NYC citizens rioted and looted shops)

"Without traffic lights, gridlock was reported as people in Lower and Midtown Manhattan fled their offices on foot; for hours into the evening the streets, highways, bridges and tunnels were jammed with traffic and pedestrians leaving Manhattan, though many civilians helped direct traffic." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

***

Sincerely yours,
Ed
