Oh, my! Get out of the way, please! It is burning, bursting into flames and … and it's falling on the mooring mast and all the folks agree this is terrible, this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world! [unverständlich], oh, four or five hundred feet into the sky, it’s a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen.
