Seriously, to think the person on the intercom who came on to tell everyone who was evacuating that everything was OK and to return to their desks, s/he may have cost 100's of lives. Luckily, his brother was smart enough to say, "Eff that...I'm still getting out of here!" Had he not 'seen' the explosion personally, he may have just stayed in the building or returned to his desk or returned once he heard the intercom announcement. Wow...

Unfortunately he did cost thousands of lives, but it wasn't that persons call. They didn't want thousands of people rushing around down there while the fire fighters and police were trying to get a hold of the situation. Would of been chaos.

Also at this time they didn't know it was a terrorist attack. It is horrible though :/ I was watching this documentary of people's last phone calls from 9/11 and few of them had family talk about how they are going back to work cause the intercom said so and they will call them later that day.

No one above the impact on either building lives :/

Another reason they didn't want people running around is cause the jumpers were falling all over and it was like big bags of concrete smashing into the ground. It was killing others that thy would hit.

It is just tragic. I couldn't imagine being there

Absolute nightmare scenario. I can't even fathom it. The chaos. And he's so lucky he saw the explosion from his window...had he not, he may have turned around himself and returned to his desk (or never left at all).

It's interesting that dumb people generally don't have very long lifespans for some reason.
That is a complete generalisation.

Most dumb people I know seem to live forever.

I think it's pretty awesome given Shanahan's late start that he's been able to assemble quite a coaching staff. We're seeing the detailed planning that's an integral part of his makeup. He's already handed Lynch a detailed analysis of the players by position he likes in the draft. He's compiling his list of FA's that he'll also give to Lynch. Gotta love this preparation...and I'm really excited for the combine, FA period and the draft. I was a communications planner for much of my AF career, both active duty and civil service...there's absolutely no substitute for detailed planning...it's the pillar from which great things happen.

Planning beats flying by the seat of your pants most of the time.

Lots of former players being added as assistants. Oghobaase, Bullocks, Ryans, Stenavich. I like it a lot

Smart, if they played for him, they know the system he implements.

Reminds me of when Ken Norton Jr went to Seattle when carrol got hired, love adding young former good players. Not saying this guy is Ken Norton jr to be clear.

Ken was a great linebacker for us. I'm pretty sure Cheat loved his play - that guy had speed and power at the point of attack. Stack and shed was no problem for him and he'd love to beat up the Goal Post Cushion after a big play. Hope Demeco can be the same kind of coach for us. Ken is now DC with the Raiders. Nice.

f**k this s**t, I want the 2-14 coaches back. Give me names I know. This sucks. Everything sucks. Niners are terrible and nothing will work unless the team is sold so magical new owner will read minds and hire magical coaches I love, implement schemes that no NFL offense or defense can stop ever, draft players I like from Lindys and sign every top free agent at every position every year.

ONLY THEN, will the Niners be good.

This should be interesting to say the least.

There will be a lot of rookies both on the playing field and in the booths - come gameday this season.

Very solid staff, especially considering Kyle had such a late start. I'm glad we kept Tarver and Hafley and Johnny Holland was a pleasant hire as LB's coach. He spent a lot of time in the Packers organization and Holmgren took him with him to Seattle. He's a good experienced guy on a defensive lacking experience. Zgonina is
intriguing as D line coach.

On offense, I really like the Bobby Turner and Mike McDaniel additions and Embree is solid to. Benton is a very solid hire as o line coach if we get him. Mike McDaniel will be a big name in the NFL coaching ranks in the next 3,4,5 years mark my words. Not crazy about LaFleur as WR's coach but I think Kyle and McDaniel will be very involved with the WR's,

I noticed that Mike McDaniel (who coached WR's previously) is the current run game specialist. It's interesting that he's at that position, because I recall Thl408 state that the slot position is the *new RB* in the pass happy modern age of football. I've looked at Coach Turner (the RB coach) and am wondering why he isn't the Run game specialist? I'm thinking Kyle is envisioning the *run game* to be a big part of the passing game this season as we don't have a game breaker WR like a Julio Jones.
We will Run and Run and Run and Run and.......

Run

this year.

We don't have a reception game breaker and we will paly a lot of 2 TE sets.
