Explosion at work.

So around noon today, everyone was doing their work as normal, nothing really exciting when the place started shaking! We're all kinda used to this because they do blasting in out quarry right behind us, and we always feel it, but this one was really strong! People freaked out for a minute or two, and then went back to normal. Then , when Mandy (receptionist at work) came back with lunch she was telling us how there were rocks all over Rideau Rd, just up the street from us. Turns out a blast went wrong at the quarry across the street from us! Apparently a boulder went right into the side of a van in a parking lot across from where the blast actually happened.

So that was the buzz around the office for a bit, but then it died down. Then, Kyle signed onto MSN, and his name was something about an explosion. So I asked him if it was the one on Rideau, and it was! Turns out he works at a steel company on Rideau, and the van that got hit was in their parking lot. Apparently another car got hit, and the got some holes in their roof now. I haven't had to go anywhere today, so I haven't been able to see any of the damage, and it will probably be all cleared up by the time I'm done work.

Just thought you guys would be interested to know about it, cause I dunno if it'll be in the news, but now if it is, you already know about it!
