....from the heart of the maelstrom

from TB photojournalist correspondent Nathaniel "Last name redacted to protect his identity", comes a photo reconstruction of Oakland in the moments after the Steelers captured #6. For those of you keeping track at home, that's in front of Posvar Hall and the Pitt Student Union, right by the Cathedral of Learning. Cops everywhere, fire everywhere, horses, fire trucks, masses of humanity, open container laws being violated everywhere, helicopters buzzing around, it felt like everyone had just committed a crime on Grand Theft Auto and the police alert level was 3 stars at least.
