Subject: Live report of incoming rocket

5 min ago I was witness to my first sighting (and hearing :) of a live rocket falling.
during our coffee break we saw a rocket hit an open field next to the big Electric Co. tower.
I don't think any person was around but a fire erupted immediately in the field.

cheers
big Bro.

When asking him if he's still watching rockets fall or has gone home, he responds with:

Nahhh
it's only interesting for 10 minutes
and I only got to see this because it was during my coffee break, I'm long since then back at my office.

I would never get such a good view from home, besides the road back home (Froyd ) is close to the place it fell, that's SCARYYYYYY

LOL :)

So this is what I sent him:

This is the image I have of you getting back home…

Now he wants me to buy him these balloons so he and the kids can drive around Haifa and have some fun. Anyone know where I could get these???

In a separate email my brother laments the serious situation and attaches a memo received from their company's management today. He wrote: As you will read in the memo, the situation is very serious. There are no services of laundry, photography or cookies.
