Today as I was coming home from work on the train, the driver suddenly turned on the speakers and said, "What's that burning off to our left?"
All of the passengers looked up from various conversations and out of the train's left-hand windows to see a pillar of black smoke rising into the sky. Other buildings were obscuring the view, but as we came closer the building in question came into view...
...fire trucks were hurriedly dousing a flaming McDonald's.
The entire car erupted into laughter, followed by comments such as "Those are gonna be some well-done burgers!"
I feel kinda bad for laughing, but hey - the restaurant was not a blackened skeleton of a building. It seemed to be an isolated fire, so the place can be renovated back into shape. Also, doesn't look like anyone was hurt.
It was interesting. Definitely something I didn't expect to see.
