Analyzing deals during the crisis

I'm currently reading Too Big to Fail and they are talking about all of potential buyers of Lehman (BofA and Barclays) as well as the weekend when the other Banks teamed up to find a solution. Also about how JP Morgan was trying to help out AIG.

Just curious if anyone on these forums worked on any of those deals as an analyst? Or any other capacity? Seems like it would have been an interesting time.
