Wow, now this is a first. Instead of always missing the news... I somehow became part of it for the first time in my life! And right now... actually, when it was happening, I was all jumpy and all and now... I'm like, oh yeah...

Anyway, during work, one of the teamleaders suddenly said: 'drop everything you are doing, we have to leave the building.' Since he always jokes, we thought it was an unsceduled fire drill or so. 'No, really, there's a gasleak and we have to evacuate!' Luckily he was calm, otherwise there might have been panic (so kudos to him!)

So, we left the building and the police (the station is right behind my building XP) told us we have to evacuate a lot more; aka: LEAVE THE SURROUNDING AREA!

So, the entire company left to the nearby mall... seriously, they have had wonderful business today, as everyone calmly decided to lunch. After an hour and 15 minutes, leak had been closed and we were all allowed back. Work started again and well...

That was it actually. Amazing how calm people can be when there's dangerous gas steaming away, about to explode with the slightest spark...... and did you ever realise how many people SMOKE when there's a drama going on??! About 200 meters away from the gas leak, people laughed nervously... and light up a sigarette!! Seriously....

Another reason why I hate smoking XD
