I remember that. I think, in scope, that one was far worse that this one even though this one is in a residential area. In this one, people have already been let back into their homes. As usual, because the 'de-evacuation' wasn't instantaneous, some people are 'outraged'. I suppose they'd be a lot happier if the cops just let anybody into any home they liked. Overall, the whole thing was handled beautifully by the police, the fire dept, the humane society, York University, the transit system, the Armory, and the media, but still there are those who just aren't happy if they aren't finding fault. They think they could have handled it better. What a joke.
