Nice footage; this will make some great Stock Footage one day when the scene calles for the cops to run from the exploding building and thanks for the big file; it looked really good.

Jubal,

I was talking to one of the guys from the Pinnacle group, but can't rmember his name. I do remember he was driving a silver 300Z. Were you there too? It was a rainy morning but atleast the rain let up once they pushed the button.

Hiro, sorry you missed it, I tried to get another DVX but when I called to let hem know he was already on his way to the beach for the weekend.

What's eery about that clip is that you see a cloud of dust and debris from the building just like the clips from 9/11. But in this one you hear people laughing and joking.
