I've been hearing helicopters.

Probably crashed into Mission Park from the sounds of it.

Yep.

That's freakin nuts!
When the truck struck the building, it crashed into a computer lab where seven children, ages 7 to 12, were working on an after-school project, according to resident David Ramos, 46.

Ramos said he came down from his family’s ninth-floor apartment when he felt what he described as a tremor, like an earthquake, and heard the alarms. By the time he reached the first floor, he ran into the after-school coordinator who he knew only by first name, Millie.

“She was all shook up crying and everything,” he said.

The truck had struck a wall near the computer lab, where seven children, ages 7 to 12, were working on an after-school project.

"Some of the kids were full of glass," said Ramos. "They were sitting next to the window where the impact was."

Ramos grabbed paper towels and said he helped clean up some of the children, who were bleeding with cuts from the flying debris.

“It was chaotic for these kids. They were nervous, crying, screaming,” he said. “They were out of control, the poor things.”

Ramos said, “The kid that I was taking care of was full of blood” coming from a cut on his head.
Ramos applied pressure to staunch it.

“He was crying, he was screaming. He was wanting his mommy, his mommy, his mommy,” Ramos said.

Three children were taken to Children's Hospital with minor injuries and are expected to be released today, according to Andrea Duggan, a hospital spokeswoman. There are street trollys that run along Huntington right there. This could have been a lot worse.

It impacted the shorter tower complex on the left.
