Fire Drill
2006.11.08 @ PCP
BJ office building had a fire drill today. We were having a meeting at bigbigboss's conference room on 25/F. At first we (3 HKers) thought of hiding, but soon caught by the evacuating security personnel to 'advise' us to leave the building.
We were almost the last batch of people leaving the building. Since the fire exit is just next to Starbucks and Pacific Department Store, many people went straight into these places. I also went into Pacific and curious to see how a fire drill here would look like.
It's quite a scene downstairs where people should gather. There was a big crowd gathered outside Pacific, 2 fire engines, 1 ambulance and a stage. The floor was wet. One of the fire engines even had its 雲梯 extended and sprinkling water at the building. There was a stage with somebody talking quickly like hosting a TV show (with some strong beat background music). He asked somebody from the crowd to go on the stage for some fire hazard related quiz. He then asked the firemen to demonstrate the usage of some equipments on stage. The whole 'show' was captured by at least 3 cameras (sort of big ones used by TV stations) as I could see.
After taking a few pics, I decided to wait for the re-opening of the elevators while the big crowd was still enjoying coffee, shopping, the 'show' or all of the above. Given the usual efficiency of the elevators, it would take hours to get back to what I should be doing if I queue too late. Thanks god I was in the first batch when the elevators re-opened.
