What did you whisper in his ear, and what were you thinking when you were first told about it . Andrew i will put things in context. When we arrived at the school, there was a buzz in the air. Karl rove, for example, said, did anybody here about the plane crash in new york city . We arrived at a classroom that had been converted to a white house command center.

And 50 years ago, june 22, 1969, there was a fire on the Cuyahoga River at the end of navigation, a couple of miles south of here, end of navigation meeting boats meaning boats could not go farther upstream. This is where a couple of low Railroad Trestles blocked some debris that was coming downstream, which was not unusual, the piers from the bridge, they got soaked in oil, which was also not unusual, and then there was a spark perhaps from a passing train.
