Weekly Photos #008

This week started off with a bang. Literally. Tony and I were sent out to the "suspicious package" on the railroad bridge. Zack was already at the command post on Miami Street so Tony and I figured we would try and find a spot to actually see the bridge. After climbing over train cars near Kuhlman Drive, we realized we were on CSX property and quickly left. While we were heading to the Jeep, we heard a loud bang. It was just like you see in the movies where all the birds fly off the trees. We both looked at each other and started running towards the bang. Which, in retrospect, might not have been the brightest idea. Anywho, we later learned that the Bomb Squad blew up the suspicious package just to be sure. It was kinda scary for a minute though. Then later in the week Alexis and I went out to the house fire on Detroit Avenue. It actually spread to the house next-door. It all started because a five-year-old was playing with a lighter. We went back later for our live shot and the house had already been demolished by the city. It's sad to think these people woke up that morning in their house and never thought it would be a pile of wood and ash by the end of the day. A busy and humid week.
