How It Played (When You Become the Lead Story, part 8)


After our Wednesday morning outing for the KXL interview, Carole was pretty wiped out. There was nothing else but to wait and see what the media would do, so I chose to put in a few hours with one of my part-time employers, the Portland Streetcar.

In a coincidence much like the one that had put me near the scene when Carole was hit a week and a half before, I was on duty and riding across the Tilikum Crossing bridge from the west to the east side shortly after 5:00 p.m., when I looked out at the collision site and noticed someone standing there in a yellow slicker with a video camera close by. I surmised that one of the TV stations might be doing a live feed about Carole’s story, so I called her immediately on my cell phone and told her to switch on the TV.
