Paging Paul Dye...
Everything okay down there? Just heard there was a gunman on the loose at JSC...
|
Thanks for asking...
Well, if you are watching on the news, you probably know more than I do. I've been in meetings most of the day, and we know pretty much what y'all know. The incident is going on in one building, which happens to be out in the "back 40", so it is pretty easy to keep isolated. Folks are coming and going at the center pretty much normally, except for that building, which was evacuated. My biggest concern is for the five news choppers in a tight pattern over the center - hope no one has a mid-air! Paul |
Isn't that a "gun-free zone?" Surprised there's not a TFR preventing the news choppers from circling.

Stay safe
Well, keep your heads down!
We've had enough disasters for one week with the Virginia Tech massacre. That hit close to home...several of my coworkers are either alumni or have kids there. All safe, fortunately. |
Holy Cow, Paul, watch your six! I'm watching on CNN and found the building on Google Earth - it does look like a pretty isolated part of the complex.

Hmm, I know this is not the place for it, but it seems we as americans need to take a little more responsability for our own personal safety. Here is Socal, a kid stole 7 guns & ammo from his parents and went missing. They closed the whole high school he goes to until they find him.
Of course, California's solution is to take away more peoples rights... seriously, it was in the news this morning. "Individual rights must be balenced with the necessity of keeping the public safe." I say allow CCW permits ;). |
That's all....

When I lived in Los Angeles an "event" would get about 10 to 12 helicopters. When the OJ slow speed chase went on, I counted 13 helicopters and 2 fixed wing planes following and crossing near our house (a diversion due to Class B LAX airspace) At another almost shooting event near our house, I counted about 10 helicopters, and was surprised that they were basically hovering at around 500 ft to 1000 ft.. Sounded like noisy bees droning away... I thought a moving pattern was safer, especially over a city... :confused: I was impressed with the TV pictures from their gyro stabilized cameras - close-ups of a vehicle from 1000 ft high and 1/2 mile away... Doesn't Houston have more than 5 TV stations.... :D Glad to hear you are OK. gil in Tucson |
It's over
Murder, suicide.

Here in Texas you have to be extra careful when you go on a shooting rampage. A good Texan shoots back. LOL. :D

May not be the right place, but a good read

Yep, 2nd amendment
