FORMATION PHOTO SHOOT PANICS BOSTONIANS
In another time, Boston residents might have thrilled to the sight of
Sean D. Tucker leading a formation of four aerobatic aircraft on a
photo shoot overhead. But in the post-9/11 world, office workers

building's 23rd floor and about 100 gathered on the ground after the
planes flew by.

"Everyone in the world is crazy except for thee and me, and sometimes
I wonder about thee." Old Quaker saying.
