amendment: I did know someone

Our newsroom got an e-mail Thursday afternoon that the former editor of our sister paper in the next city was on the bridge when it collapsed.

We were told that they did not expect him to make it at that time. But then yesterday I read that his doctors expected that, barring unforeseen complications, he would make a full recovery.

In any case, he's about 32 and just got engaged last weekend, so that's kind of sad. His is one of the red cars you see floating in the water.

I think I only met him once, and no one in our newsroom really knew him well, but it's still a bit jarring.
