00:00A lot of people screaming, kids crying, just
00:29pieces everywhere on fire, cars on fire, homes on fire, people, I had a friend that he couldn't
00:38go back to his house because he actually lives right there, exactly where the crash happened,
00:43and he wasn't allowed back in his home until almost midnight, and he had to be escorted
00:47and they were without power and without electricity pretty much all night, and they probably still
00:53are now without any power or heat or anything.
01:24I come here almost every day, 9 to 5, I'm a field rep salesman, and fortunately yesterday I didn't
01:34go into the field, but coming back today this place is unrecognizable. Everything that was
01:41here, the community, everything, I can tell everybody's impacted by it, and I just hope
01:48that everybody's okay and we can get through this as soon as possible.
02:18Right now it's just a lot going on, the city right now, it feels the impact. I'm actually
02:24trying to check on my cousin, she's in one of these back blocks I'm trying to get to,
02:29they got everything blocked off, it's hurting me, and I never heard from her yet, so I just
02:34want to make sure she's okay, my heart is racing, there's a lot going on, a lot of emotions,
02:39I'm trying not to drop a tear. Okay, deep breath.
02:48It's a lot, I'm thinking the people are in the car waiting for the light, because you
03:11can see the car over there, it's stopped waiting for the light. The car is, the people
03:20there, I'm like, why they think in that moment, you know, like, maybe they don't see the airplane
03:25or I don't know, so.
03:56Just in a minute like that, something just happened like that, and unfortunate, you know,
04:04people lose their lives and stuff like that, instantly, and certain things, you know, we
04:12don't control these, we don't control these, but it's very sad, it's very sad for the families
04:20and whoever affected by this tragedy.
04:25It's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it
04:55it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, it
