    WiFi Samaritan

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     dschtein shot this photo on Thursday on First Avenue near 20th Street. 'I passed three people sitting with laptops, and another sat down as I passed. They all smiled, knowingly, and the one in the middle told her the WiFi password, she said thanks and they all continued to work, as the power all around them was off and the stores shuttered.'
    - dsashin, CNN iReport producer

    Walking through downtown New York City, I came across this good samaritan sharing her WiFi signal. As people began to sat next to her with their laptops, she instantly and without reservation told them her WiFi log-in, outside a block of closed stores without power.
