I was within a 4 minute walk from the city docks in Juneau where I stayed for three days during my June 1994 vacation....
Just as I was driving to the highway intersection and the Douglas Bridge on my way to the ferry terminal, three fire trucks and an ambulance were on code 3 (lights and siren) in a hurry responding to a call....
When I arrived in Haines, watching the NBA finals and the statewide news on TV had reported a fatality accident on the gangway that collapsed in Juneau the same day, which had just happened while I was departing from the area in Juneau - my heart went out to all that got hurt and killed.
Sometimes you just do not know what's going to happen in the north.
