Today, I was minding my own business, sitting in my office, working on my computer with my back to the window, and BOOM!I scrambled to look out the window to see what had happened and there I see a van unusually close to window and the front of the van is out of my view - kinda like it's inside the wall!
I ran outside - sure enough, the van has driven into the wall! Mostly the door!
The van plowed into the cement wall, the glass door shattered and was hanging on its hinges with the nose of the van stuffed into the corridor! The driver told me he hit the brakes but the van jumped forward. Uh huh. Maybe... he hit the gas by mistake?
Fortunately, no one was hurt. No one was walking out the door at the time, thankfully. The driver was an elderly man and he and his wife got out on their own. Everyone came. The cops. The paramedics. The firetruck. Everyone except A Channel.
I'm feeling like, wow, God really protected me. Had the van crashed six feet to the left, it would be parked in my office - and I probably would be dead.
And to quote Air Raid 19 artist B. Reith - "No, I'm not ready, yet".
I had the same thing happen when I worked at the Vision Clinic, but it was a young driver. Come to think of it, I did the same thing the last time I drove a go kart :$
