That was, I can say for the first time in my life, truly soul chilling.
I lived in NYC for a while. I’ve heard a city celebrating, mourning, crying, protesting, even one dancing, but never heard a city cry out in pain and frustration like that. I’ve never heard of a city with that level of built up anguish.
If it was a human, I’d think they’d snapped, and were about to lash out at any convenient target. Unless someone can tell me there is a Shanghai tradition of screaming loudly out your windows, I’ll go with that.
