It's where people ended up for the night that gets me. I cannot imagine sleeping on the post office steps of NYC on a hot summer pitch black night with a few hundred sweaty strangers.

Commuters sleep on the steps of the General Post Office in New York early Friday morning, Aug. 15, 2003 after being stranded because of the city's electrical blackout. The blackout, which affected everything from trains to mobile phones, occurred across much of northeastern United States and parts of Canada.

Well, where else do you sleep? It would be too hot inside any building.
