Ukraine
I watch the news nightly, to find out what’s happening in the U.S. and around the world. I sit, completely riveted to the screen. I am aghast as my brain tries to process what I’m witnessing. I’m sure that many around the world are having the same out of body experience as they watch footage of current events in Ukraine. One of the images that resonated with me was of people taking cover and sheltering in place in subway stations underground. I had heard of this happening in World War II, people escaping to the subway tunnels when the air raid sirens sounded. When I’ve seen this depicted in movies about the era, I always assumed that people would stay in the subway for a few of hours, and then return to their lives when it was safe to do so. I didn’t think about people living in subways for a week or more. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/02/world/europe/russia-ukraine-war-shelters.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&...
