FYI, I don't work at the navy yard

In case anyone was reading news and made a navy + washington + swansont association. The observatory is miles away from the navy yard.

Good, but keep your head down anyway. It's safer and makes you look busy. Stay safe.

It is such a human trait when one hears bad news that - even with only a virtual connexion - the first thing I thought was I wonder if that's where Swansont is based... Glad you are OK and hope the casualty numbers don't get any higher

We got a shelter in place announcement, so we hung out in the lab for an hour until the picture cleared up a little. Then back to our offices. But I still can't go outside, and am still in my workout gear, since I was headed to the gym.

Just read the news, I have been out for a couple of hours. Shocking stuff.

Swansont,

 

Glad as well that you are safe and not immediately affected.

 

Was wondering though, as is the rest of the country, why the man did what he did.

 

Do you have any "inside" dope? Not hard facts of course, but peices of information you might be privy to, through IT connections, that would help the rest of us guide our speculations away from unlikely things and towards more actually possible motives and mind set?

 

Regards, TAR2

Something you might have heard at the gym?

No, I have no inside scoop. Not much of an overlap with the Navy Yard, and certainly not with the Sea Systems Command.
