I was scrolling through some old articles and came across some of the accompanying images you see alongside the articles.  This article - dated September 5th 2008 - has a picture, with the following text and image caption:

Elizabeth Rose, top, and Michael McDonnell, both of Lehman Brothers MarketMakers, watch early trading from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Friday, Sept. 5, 2008, in New York. Selling swept across Wall Street for a second straight session on news that the economy shed jobs for the eighth straight month in August and at a faster-than-expected pace.

Then less than 2 weeks later: this article, with the following caption and text:

Elizabeth Rose, a specialist with Lehman Brothers MarketMakers, works her post on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Monday, Sept. 15, 2008. A stunning reshaping of the Wall Street landscape sent stocks down sharply Monday, but the pullback appeared relatively orderly _ perhaps because investors were unsurprised by the demise of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and relieved by a takeover of Merrill Lynch & Co.

Now, what is really amazing is the fact that this second picture was taken on Monday… at a time when traders are probably unloading Lehman stock en masse… what a painful day for the workers of the company.  Hopefully they can all come out stronger.
