A year ago today I woke up to a bunch of missed calls and messages asking where I was and if I was OK. Had no idea of the chaos that was going on about 10 miles away from where I was.
Co-workers from other remote offices were pinging us asking if everyone and their families were okay. It was just really surreal.
For about the next month everything was just kind of off, usually I would drive to California and when I would normally see a lot of cars piled up going the North to try and go to Vegas, and it was eerily empty.
A year later, there are still signs and banners on the side of the freeway that say #VegasStrong, and I see the saying on the back of a LOT of cars on the freeway.
What long term solution could you do to minimize the impact that some deranged person could do something like that again? I certainly wouldn't want to be checked and frisked every time I wish to go somewhere, but with something as busy and populated and unregulated as this, I'm concerned something like this will happen again.
It's an unfortunate feeling to have and think about. The city has recovered and gave us something to come together and help each other out on.
