I switched to MSNBC because their coverage was better at the moment. Chris Mathews mentioned the people at the Capital were told to run.
Interestingly he brought up the fact that on 9-11 the one's who survived were the people who ran. Most of those who did not take it quite as seriously died.
The plane that caused the panic was a Kentucky State Police plane of all things. I would not want to be the guy who has to decide what to do re: threats right now.
That's a sobering truth.
However, I would have thought that by now, we'd have a plan that was a bit more organized than just "run". I can envision a scene tantamount to the running of the bulls in Pamplona.
Maybe at least it could be: "Ladies and Gentlemen, could you please walk as fast as you can.....downwind." ;-)
