#73: 5-5-5-5
September 11, 2006

This episode of Road Rage is a memorial tribute to those New Yorkers who died at the World Trade Center five years ago.  It includes sounds recorded that day from witnesses and police and fire radios, some of which may be disturbing to some listeners.

As a native New Yorker now living in Maine,  I wanted to tell these stories of New York and how it coped with the tragedy.

The episode title is the bell signal sounded when a firefigher dies in the line of  duty: five bells, repeated four times.

This week, We're All Gonna Die!! is worried about a dead zone in the Pacific Ocean, there's a new pain killer which is habit-forming but legal, and we talk about Pluto.

On What Were They Thinking?, we have a squirrel attack, we get to play God, and we talk about Barney.

We Rant about a man who was ahead of his time.

Road Rage is always right on time.
