Quotation: I didn’t hear an explosion, so I started the engine and prepared to move out. Just then I heard Big Voice anouncing “Alarm…Red…"…I shut off the engine and sat there a bit, figuring I was as safe in an up-armored hummer as in a bunker. After a while Big Voice announced “Alarm…Black…,” so we could move around guilt free.
