Once again most of Inc and FastCompany staffers spent hours gawking at the spectacle of our president visiting WTC site.
We could see the snipers on the WTC memorial
And on the top of Century 21 (as well as a few other buildings)
Our senator has arrived
The firemen lined up
Tourists were sardined a few blocks away
The presidential cortege was significant. It went on (notice the suv with a popped hatch)
and on
and on. And then it went on some more, but I got tired of clicking.
The black ambulance style car looks scary, but even scarier is the creep-o-van behind it. I later saw a few of similar cars outside our building – they were crazy eery, for inside was a full-size cubicle, complete with gray cloth pinboard and fluorescent light overhead. I can’t describe the look very well, but I did not have the nerve to take a picture. It was almost like a portal into a dreary office somewhere, but in a shiny black van.
They found a primo parking spot for the two limos
Some flesh was pressed
You probably saw the rest on TV
And away they went. From the looks of it the logistics of this were mind-blowing and the price tag was significant.
