This is what it looked like around 7 15, 7 30 this morning. It created a plume of smoke and the San Francisco Fire Department tweeted out this was not an airplane crash. This twoalarm fire started in a heating, hvac unit. The Fire Department had it out in about an hour. Alarms did go off the building and united said all of the employees evacuated. No one was hurt. We spoke to one mechanic who said the evacuation was calm and orderly. Everybody was looking at the smoke and not evacuating. And that is something that we all know. Youre supposed to evacuate right away and not be lookylooing and all of that. Some if not all of the employees have returned to work.

S. President donald trump in particular but this does seem to be a reminder from them about the size of their nuclear and missile arsenal that yes this is only a short range missile but it is a reminder that they are serious about getting the u.
