Good DHS sponsored five minute video on what to do if caught in an active shooter event.


Run if a safe path is available. Always try and escape or evacuate even if
others insist on staying.
Encourage others to leave with you but don't let the indecision of others
slow down your own effort to escape.
Once you are out of the line of fire, try to prevent others from walking
into the danger zone and call 9-1-1.
If you can't get out safely, find a place to hide.
When hiding, turn out lights, remember to lock doors and silence your ringer
and vibration mode on your cell phone.
As a last resort, working together or alone, act with aggression, use
improvised weapons and fight.

I was unfortunate enough to participate in that crash - I took the next day off from work and kept my thumbs on the trigger to cut and run. But I decided to ride the crash and ended up glad I did - I learned a great deal from that episode.

BT, if you were not out of the equity funds for Black Monday you were in. The market lost over 25% that day. Under the IFT rules of the day I think you had to mail in your transactions. What a joke. But, you would not even be able to exit equities in time even now. Any trades would have locked in that loss.

When you are part of a crash it is best to ride it out. Definitely...

Thank you OBGibby! Sorry it took so long to reply. I have recently moved from Juneau to Anchorage. We get A LOT of people that visit Alaska every year. I came up here in 79 just to work for the summer and never left. It's that great. If there was any way I could help you visit, please let me know.
