| 0:00.0 | There is a saying out there that necessity is the mother of all inventions, which is why when |
| 0:08.4 | you see a row of cars parked in front of an apartment complex in China, and every single windshield is |
| 0:13.9 | covered with a couch cushion that has been strapped on top of the car, duct taped around their |
| 0:19.8 | car. You have to assume that they've done that for a very |
| 0:22.9 | specific reason. I mean, that's compelling people to do this. Otherwise, it just seems unnecessary. |
| 0:29.6 | Bringing couch cushions outside just to sit on top of your car, it seems like all the dust, |
| 0:34.0 | the scents, the little bugs that are going to crawl up in there. Not to mention hauling these giant couch cushions up and down your apartment |

| 1:24.5 | And if you're really unlucky, if you're young or if you're older, your bones are |
| 1:28.0 | more brittle, you could suffer a full-on skull fracture. You don't want to be outside. Inside is a little |
| 1:34.8 | better, but not by much. People said it sounded like just rapid fire, gunfire coming down from |

| 1:45.2 | It sounds like they're getting pelted by boulders. |
| 1:48.4 | September 13th, 2025, warnings are sent out to all the residents of Beijing. A hailstorm is |
