On Saturday afternoon, David Kahley, chief executive of The Progress Fund of Greensburg, flew his plane over Pittsburgh and snapped an aerial view of a nearly deserted Downtown.

“It was unnerving,” Kahley said. “The physical center of the town, its parks, roads, museum and stadium parking lots and rivers, were devoid of movement.

Even though people were practicing social distancing, “It still was sad to see a ghost town below.”
