Hi Max, reading your linked material made me think of the state of the stock market. Of course, taking a shower, drinking a beer, flirting with a girl, or doing all three at the same time also makes me think about the state of the stock market. Just replace "pollution", "smoke", "smog" and "fog" with "stocks" ... and Maurice is not wearing respirator.

<<"I didn't realize the seriousness of it, but I thought it would affect the crowd at the football game," she said. "We had 50 pounds of hot dogs. I was worried about the hot dogs, the pop, buns and candy [if no one showed up.]"

Monongahela defeated Donora in the smog bowl. During the game, one family was summoned home because of an emergency. It turned out that the father had died from the pollution. By noon Saturday, 11 people already had succumbed to the smoke. But people still didn't realize the danger.

"I recall sitting outside the old borough building on a bench with the fire chief. A delivery truck from Pittsburgh comes by and they all had respirators on," Lignelli said. "We asked them why they were wearing respirators. They said because the air is bad. I said, 'We don't have a problem here.'"

Schempp, a longtime Donora fireman, and his wife, Gladys, were attending a party on the ridge about two miles from Donora that Saturday. When they returned that evening, the ridge road was almost enveloped in smog.>>
