27. I remember 9/11 thinking

how much worse it could have been. The buildings weren't filled to capacity, and it was still kind of early in the morning. I have that same feeling now. One wrong turn, one Senator heading down the hall to the bathroom, or something. This whole thing could have gone way more sideways than it did. Some seemed like they were playing some kind of prank (the guy taking the podium). And then there were some in that crowd that wanted blood. If AOC was walking down the hall, they would have handcuffed her and dragged her out. People get taken up with the crowd and hanging a person they hate could very well have happened.
