For the fact that our office lost 2 LTCs and 3 S/CRS'ers in the past few days, so wish us luck! Wow, ok, let me clarify, lost as in they flew out of the country. LTCs being Lieutenant Colonels and S/CRS'ers being people from my office in DC-the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization. On top of that, this morning while I was typing at the computer inside the heavy imposing concrete building of the Embassy with its bulletproof glass, there was an enormous explosion. The office was empty except for one other guy who ran to the window to see what happened. the sound was big enough, I was thinking that wasn't a good idea. The impact at the beginning wasn't as loud as those percussive fireworks at the big shows that just make noise with the flash of white light (my least favorite), but the impact was about 20 times that and the rumble continued as the building shook for about 5 seconds. I've never heard anything like it, including at explosives training. We were surprised and wondered if that was a truck bomb...but luckily it ended up being the intentional destruction of a weapons cache that was found on the edge of town. So, all in all a good thing!
Wow. What power. Am glad as always to be safe and just as glad to know that people weren't hurt.
Peace...
