Thursday April 18th, broadcasting during a tragedy.

On Thursday, half way during my show MIT Officer Collier was shot. I was being inundated with blasts of limited information from MIT’s alert system and getting a number of calls from national reporters. It was a good show, I had no idea that the shooting was part of the bigger bombing event. It’s surreal to think about now.

Commit this one to posterity.
