Last night at the Empress while Justine and I were out for a smoke a car BLEW through the intersection going at least 80 or 90 km/hr and smoked another car with some unfortunate elderly couple inside. This caused quite a ruckus on the patio and pretty much occupied the rest of our evening. We were just standing there and all of a sudden there's this screeching so everyone looks and BOOOOOOOOM! the cars go spinning through the intersection. The impact was insanely loud. I jumped pretty high and debris flew out and hit the pole a few metres ahead of us. It was insane! Then Cory and ourselved sat on the patio and watched emergency response workers do their stuff.
There was one guy out in the intersection directing traffic and he was just some guy from the bar who left his girlfriend out on the sidewalk. There was some speculation that he was an offduty policeman but I like to think that he was just some dude who had been waiting for the one moment his whole life to be a hero.
