If you were downtown at 5:15 Friday afternoon, this is what you saw.
^ I was walking out of One Financial Center, and it did not look good at all. Either way, I had to go to North Station, which meant I'd be taking the Greenway and going through whatever this stuff was
At first my thoughts turned to the horrific -- 9/11 for a moment, but then I thought of Philadelphia's Meridien Plaza fire from 1991 -- but the giveaway there was no emergency here was the lack of any smell to this smoke.
Now it's 5:34 and I'm heading south for WTC East
the cloud
and the last one
As it turns out, it was just fog, which ultimately made sense because the air that afternoon, despite having a sun that pushed temps into the mid 70s, had a surprisingly damp and raw bite to it, which was felt any time you were in the shadows with a decent breeze blowing.
