“Donald Bouchoux, a fifty-three-year-old retired navy pilot, saw an emergency oxygen bottle shoot across the hood of his Ford Explorer. James Cissell, in another car, saw a tire rim pass his window. He sat in his car, terrified. As the plane passed by him, he had actually seen the faces of some of the passengers looking helplessly through the windows.”
Lincoln M. Starnes, American Phoenix: Heroes of the Pentagon on 9/11

“(Dimon also apparently wasn’t a fan of supporting the Seattle Art Museum, at least initially. When one of his lieutenants suggested that he continue to donate to the museum because Kerry and Linda Killinger had a named wing, and Bill Gates, Jr.’s mom was involved, Dimon exclaimed: “Are you fucking stupid? Why the fuck would I do that? I will honor whatever we legally have to honor. Are you going to tell me that Bill Gates doesn’t have enough money to support the museum?”

Walter Isaacson
“He had become fascinated by Fermi’s Paradox, named after the Italian American physicist Enrico Fermi, who in a discussion of alien life in the universe said, “But where is everyone?” Mathematically it seemed logical there were other civilizations, but the lack of any evidence raised the uncomfortable possibility that the Earth’s human species might be the only example of consciousness. “We’ve got this delicate candle of consciousness flickering here, and it may be the only instance of consciousness, so it’s essential we preserve it,” Musk says. “If we are able to go to other planets, the probable lifespan of human consciousness is going to be far greater than if we are stuck on one planet that could get hit by an asteroid or destroy its civilization.”
Walter Isaacson, Elon Musk

“As soon as an “all clear” was given to reenter the Pentagon, Defina and Battalion Chief Walter Hood, along with several other battalion chiefs and their crews, entered the wedge with attack lines. They found victims burned to death where they stood, killed so quickly that the bodies didn’t have time to fall. Some people were melted into desk and cabinet tops. Some were propped against walls.”

“(Leonard also noted that “Negative Amortization” would make a terrific name for a punk band.)”
