| 0:00.0 | How was your boring meeting interrupted in a completely unexpected way? |
| 0:05.1 | We were in our weekly meeting and heard a huge boom, similar to thunder, but louder and longer. |
| 0:11.1 | Everyone ran to the window, and the car detailing shop next to us was in flames and pieces of the |
| 0:15.8 | building was strewn about everywhere. They evacuated our building and I got the afternoon off, |
