I will say this:
Taking a step and having two large trucks collide directly behind you and come within 6 inches of hitting you is a scary thing. Foolish drivers were going way too fast through the parking lot at the end of my shift. I was on my way to the car, and wham, they hit. Both crumpled like tin cans. One was, as it appeared to be, a lifted Ford, I think F-250 (couldn't find the model tag) and the other was a Dodge Ram 1500, also crumpled and squished. Multiple vehicle damaged, but only a few people hurt. To be more precise, 6 died, and they were the passengers and drivers. Nobody else did. I tried to help them, but, I couldn't get a pulse, and neither could the EMT's.
I have had one of those days.
How was yours?

Well, after my dad got shocked and the wires arcked out, we learned my room still has the original woven wires from 1929 (When the house was built) or the early '30s.
we just took a wire cutters and cut the whole thing, they were starting to burn, that thing could have burned this whole house down to the ground.
