Crash boom bang

August 29, 2007 /

Yesterday, when I heard a loud bang from across the road, I sneaked outside the window to see what was happening. I could hardly see from afar, so I took the camera and zoomed-in to the max. This is what I saw:

what the? what the...oh it's clearer!

Yep, something had been thrown down from the building across.  I could not really guessed what was the thing that smashed the car, so I asked my husband who just got back, to go and have a look. My husband came back few minutes later with a clearer picture. I was shaken but quite relief to learn that nobody hurts. Lucky it was a car but I felt sorry for the owner.

When something, however small, is thrown from high-rise building, it is more than likely to seriously injure or kill someone if it lands on them. It is such an irresponsible and dangerous act.

Couple of police cars arrived at the scene and I saw them going up the building, probably to hunt for the irresponsible person who hurled the thing down. I never got to witness the whole story (I believe the policemen have caught the person) but I got to see what the thing was. Here’s a picture that my husband took:

it was a tv set!
It was a tv set!!!

One question that keeps lingering in my head until now, “what were they thinking!?”
