Chaos! » 26 Sep. 2008

I was sitting on the couch, and saw a helicopter view of Bloor and Yonge… crowded with thousands of stranded commuters.  Realizing that was only a few blocks away, I grabbed a camera and put shoes on.

TTC officials and Toronto Police were trying to keep order with the disgruntled crowd as they waited to cram onto buses shuttling them between Bloor and Lawrence stations on the Yonge line.

I got home and filed to the Toronto Star, where my photo appeared on the front page of their website and in today’s pictures of the day.  See it with the story here.  Also used another shot with another story here.
