Wow. It's been 20 years since this happened.

I was on the Kennedy at the time and part of my job was receiving support equipment shipments trucked down from the Norfolk area. The truck drivers were relieved to be out of that area and expressed dread about having to return. You could see they were clearly distressed. One told me just stopping at a gas station was an experience in surrealism. People gassing up their cars would continuously move and duck around in the fear of being in someone's crosshairs. It was truly disturbing, and the very real fear was it would start happening in other places.
