There's very well-trained, well-armed guys saying, get down.

And they're hearing maybe shots fired.

And so a lot of people were just flabbergasted.

Flowing away almost like a boat going through a lake and you have the layers of the ripples going off to the side and so people either got under their tables or they were running sort of aimlessly toward another part of the room to get away from where the big guys were.

I've been through a few different security scenarios.

And, you know, you still have kind of these natural reactions.

But I think really when it comes down to it, you feel like you're in a movie and you don't realize you're a part of the movie until it stops.

Well, I mean, there's a couple elements of technology in this that were a little bit different.

You know, at a lot of big events, sometimes there may or may not be a government agency that gets in the way of the signals that you can send or receive from a particular venue.

And sometimes when you go a couple of layers underground in a hotel room, your cell signal isn't any good.

But they didn't make Wi-Fi terribly accessible in that spot.
