This is Handel on the Law, Marginal Legal Advice.

Today's show is a little bit different.

I am getting a lot of questions, both the legal issues and just opinions, which I never give.

And I generally don't hear or want to hear the kind of questions that we're getting.

And it has to do with the recent fires that are going on in Southern California.

And just so many issues, legal issues that are going to come out of this.

And I'll stick a little bit to the legal part of it.

What actually happened is so devastating.

I know several people lost their homes.

And there was a senior management person I was talking to a few days ago

about the fires here in southern California he was in New York when 9-11 hit 9-11 of course

was one of the big stories of the last hundred years you can only compare it to the assassination of JFK, Pearl Harbor.

A few in terms of news going back to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It was on that level.

Now, it was an international story. It became a very national story. And it was a local story.

9-11 was a local story for people in New York.

It hit home on a very personal level that didn't hear.

I mean, we watched it.

We were horrified.

We were devastated.

How many people knew people that were there in the towers? I didn't. And most people

didn't. In New York, keep in mind, 3,000 people were killed. A lot of New Yorkers knew those people.

So my friend now, senior management, Chris, had said, this is L.A.'s 9 9-11 and that hit home and it really is.
