00:00:00an anticyclone from the north, and until it is slightly disturbed, that will happen
00:00:03at the beginning of next week, the weather will not change significantly, so today
00:00:07in the rest of the day in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina it will be clear,
00:00:11we see that actually on the map there are almost no clouds at all,
00:00:15we won't even have a little cloud in the sky, so the air temperatures
00:00:18will again climb to high numbers in the afternoon, perhaps a little
00:00:22more pleasant than a few days ago, let's say today it won't reach
00:00:2540 anywhere, but in the Mostar area, where the highest
00:00:28temperature is expected, with... how to reach a hot 37, in
00:00:32Bosnia mostly between 30 and 33, there will be some
00:00:36light north-easterly wind that will provide a breath of
00:00:39freshness. As for the weekend, as I said at the beginning,
00:00:42dry, sunny and hot, air
00:00:46temperatures will be one or two degrees higher, so Bosnia should again
00:00:50be cooking at around 35 during the weekend. A change
00:00:54in weather is certain on Monday in the second half of the day and Tuesday
00:00:57night when a cold front should arrive. with local
00:01:00thunderstorms and refreshment, this will be felt more
00:01:04in Bosnia than in the south, but this
00:01:07change at the beginning of this week will still somewhat
00:01:10stifle these heats and this summer, so next week in general
00:01:14should still be temperature- wise more pleasant than this one.
00:01:34unfortunately, raging across the region, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the situation in Konjic is
00:01:37still difficult, in neighboring Croatia since last night
00:01:41the most difficult situation is in Omiš, where residents and
00:01:44tourists have been evacuated, the Prime Minister of Croatia, Andrej Plenković, has announced a visit, so
00:01:48we will now join
00:02:10You watched the new day, a friend of the show,
00:02:13Medicana Health Group.
00:02:36Dingač, or rather, four Canadairs will now be available to us, we currently
00:02:39have 150 firefighters here on
00:02:43the ground, which is all
00:02:46the return technique that
00:02:48with images of the is needed, we are working now, but believe me, we cannot guarantee anything,
00:02:51currently the most important thing is to stop it towards the houses, this morning there was
00:02:55defending houses, thank God nothing was destroyed, but we must be on
00:02:58alert, we cannot guarantee anything. Do you already know what
00:03:02the potential causes are, how did this
00:03:05happen, how clearly, you told us from
00:03:08the beginning that the wind is one
00:03:11many elements of the biggest problems, but do you know anything about
00:03:13how this fire happened, so quickly after
00:03:16Amisch, I don't know, I really don't know, we had a fire last night
00:03:20in the hunting ground which was successfully
00:03:23extinguished, so after the peddlers came this one
00:03:27in the rabbits. So
00:03:30I don't know what the cause is, we just
00:03:33assume, we just assume one thing, that this was not caused
00:03:37by a human. Sir, thank
00:03:40you very much for this conversation, I know
00:03:42you have to go and instruct new firefighters to go to work, we wish you a lot of luck
00:03:46in your work,
00:03:49goodbye,
00:03:50thank you.
00:04:08We have just learned that President Milanović is also coming to Omiš
00:04:11at 2
00:04:13p.m. We will listen to what the
00:04:17firefighters from Split said earlier.
00:04:20Well, there were big fires, this one by area of 1 hectare is
00:04:24really a big fire, but what's worst, it went
00:04:27all through houses, through settlements and. That's the problem, and otherwise, as
00:04:31far as fires are concerned, here's Žnovnica, Split
00:04:352017. Brač,
00:04:38Pelješac, Korčula 98. 2011.
00:04:41There was a lot of that, but this was really one of the most
00:04:45and on the perhaps the most demanding, here are my eyes tonight, they are full
00:04:47of, actually they are totally
00:04:51people have arrived in Split, bloody from smoke, how was it to work tonight, how difficult was it for our
00:04:55viewers to know, how difficult it is to work in such a
00:04:58terrain in... Those large flames you were
00:05:02surrounded by? Well, you can't protect yourself from smoke, from smoke, from heat,
00:05:06meaning we all have equipment, we have uniforms, we have helmets, we have visors,
00:05:09we have, but it's a large amount of smoke, you're too close. and these
00:05:13temperatures broke a few capillaries, but that's how
00:05:16it is, it will last a few days and pass, there were dozens
00:05:20of firefighters who requested eye rinsing, unfortunately they are like
00:05:24me, we have one firefighter who has
00:05:27a perforated eardrum and well, but that's for a fire like this, over
00:05:31200 people, that's a firefighter I helped
00:05:34and brought him to the ambulance vehicle, yes he was
00:05:38really, really in a painful situation, it hurt him
00:05:42a lot. But it hurts people who have lost
00:05:45their property the most, you helped them defend their houses, how did that look, what
00:05:49do you say to all that when you saw those people fighting,
00:05:53fighting with the fire, trying to save their property? Well, I don't
00:05:56have much to say, you know, it's hard for me too, I cry when I see that, you work all night
00:06:00then in the morning when you sum everything up, it seems like you
00:06:03did a great job, we did the maximum we could, there are a lot of
00:06:07objects, but then when we sum everything up,
00:06:10what rags, what thread. "So many objects, so many
00:06:14vehicles, so many yards, so many of everything,
00:06:18about 30 injured people, that's something
00:06:20that hurts all of us together, so the situation tonight
00:06:24was not good, but the situation for now
00:06:28is good, you succeeded, but the fire also reached
00:06:31the city itself, Omiš,
00:06:34well, it reached Omiš, but it's hard to defend these
00:06:38suburban settlements, because they are
00:06:41houses, everyone has a piece of land and built something, and the road is narrow,
00:06:45but again, thanks to the police, they did a great job and everything
00:06:48we needed to evacuate in a very short
00:06:52time, they took care of the people, the Red Cross
00:06:55also immediately prepared, people had somewhere to go, the port authority
00:06:59with boats, so everyone made themselves available
00:07:03and then we didn't have any problems, really, with this fire, considering
00:07:06how big it is, how many people there were, over
00:07:0960 vehicles, we didn't
00:07:13get into a situation where we couldn't get to the fire, although
00:07:17the streets are narrow, but most citizens moved their vehicles in
00:07:20time, also, people had
00:07:24communication to houses and everything, so it's simply
00:07:27somehow unreal that with such a large fire with such intensity of work, not
00:07:31once without water, we needed a floor and
00:07:35the tanker was a little late or something, but we really had communication, so
00:07:39people were quite obedient and listened to the
00:07:42instructions and that's why it's like that.
00:07:56We are now returning to the topic of Gospić, Ms. Dušica
00:07:59Radojčić, President of the Environmental Protection Committee, is joining me
00:08:03in the program. Ms. Radojčić, welcome to
00:08:06N1. Good day, good day.
00:08:10Let's start with the fact that
00:08:12the committee was canceled today, or rather postponed until
00:08:16Monday, given these latest events
00:08:19in Omiš with the fires, could you briefly
00:08:23comment on the adoption of such a
00:08:25decision? Well, that wasn't really a
00:08:29decision, but given this unprecedented tragedy
00:08:32that hit Omiš and further south,
00:08:36it's simply an act of
00:08:38respect, allow me to express solidarity with all those
00:08:42affected by this tragedy,
00:08:45yes,
00:08:47for the umpteenth time I congratulate the self-sacrifice
00:08:50of firefighters, to send a message
00:08:53to call on the government to do everything possible to ease
00:08:56this tragedy for these people,
00:09:00so that was the reason why I
00:09:04decided, even though some members of the committee and other
00:09:07representatives had already set off like me, but
00:09:10I really think that was the best decision
00:09:14at this moment, the committee meeting is postponed until
00:09:17Monday at 4 p.m., so at the same time in
00:09:21the same place in Gospić,
00:09:24we will follow what happens with
00:09:27the fire, we hope that it will be
00:09:31contained as soon as possible,
00:09:34stopped, because as I said, my thoughts are with
00:09:37those people who are now suffering terribly,
00:09:41clearly, the fires continue in Pelješac, now
00:09:45a new battle stands before the firefighters,
00:09:49Ms. Radojčić,
00:09:51the second tragedy, we can say, which also
00:09:55affects Croatia in recent days, is this ecological
00:09:58disaster in Gospić about which this
00:10:01committee was supposed to be, my colleague from
00:10:04the committee, Mr. Lacković, was in my
00:10:07program earlier, and actually some of the conclusions
00:10:10of our conversation and before
00:10:12this originally planned session today were
00:10:16that he says it's incredible that so
00:10:20many people somehow knew some elements of this
00:10:23story that it became very
00:10:26topical in the past week
00:10:30and here it is, it came into such a focus of
00:10:33the Croatian public, but also
00:10:35politics.
00:10:38Yes, I would say that this focus, that this
00:10:42attention is primarily due to the members of the Citizens' Initiative
00:10:45Gospić Our Home, without whom there would
00:10:48not be so much attention from politics on the case.
00:10:52You know that famous one, some institutions do their
00:10:55job, which is often used when big problems like
00:10:59this one occur, however, in this case it is completely clear that institutions did
00:11:03not do their job, how is it possible that trucks after
00:11:06trucks for months and years brought waste to a facility
00:11:10that was supposed to deal with recovery, recycling, and
00:11:14it was clear to anyone who peeked into the circle of that abandoned
00:11:17factory, or PPK, former PPK Velebit, that
00:11:21there is not a single machine for processing and production
00:11:25of plastic products, but that's not the only problem, in 2019,
00:11:29the then competent minister
00:11:33Ćorić changed the law, he called it
00:11:36administrative relief and abolished
00:11:40the obligation of waste importers
00:11:43to inform the State Inspectorate about every shipment.
00:11:47pošici.
00:11:49Uh, we now know what kind of pollution is at
00:11:55severe soil contamination,
00:11:58groundwater pollution, PFAS
00:12:01compounds downstream of the landfill. It is now necessary
00:12:04to determine whether wells
00:12:07or water supply systems downstream are contaminated.
00:12:11Continuous and frequent monitoring must be carried out. It is necessary
00:12:14to see if biomonitoring of the population was necessary.
00:12:18So these are all topics that we
00:12:21will discuss at the committee meeting on Monday. We are also asking
00:12:25for concrete answers, plans and deadlines
00:12:28from the Minister of Health and the Minister of Environmental
00:12:32Protection. The majority of the
00:12:36committee requested that the Chief State
00:12:40Attorney, the Deputy Chief State Inspector,
00:12:43the Director of the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund,
00:12:47the Prefect of Lika-Senj County, and the Mayor of Gospić be present
00:12:51at the session. I hope I have pronounced
00:12:55everything correctly, so I really hope for a
00:12:58constructive discussion, I hope there will be no
00:13:01usual deviation from the topic, because we are going to Gospić
00:13:04precisely because of the citizens of Lika so that they can get
00:13:08answers to all the questions they still haven't received answers to,
00:13:11and because their health is the most important thing, concern for their
00:13:15health, we had the opportunity to hear, is great, is great, some
00:13:19have been buying water in bottles for a
00:13:22long time, some who have... or
00:13:25in Gospić and the surrounding area because of the healthy
00:13:28environment, clean nature, peaceful life, say
00:13:31that they are now planning to leave, so there are
00:13:36that, many concerns,
00:13:40if we want to solve those concerns, we must as
00:13:43soon as possible, the authorities must make an effort to remove the
00:13:47waste from the site as soon as possible
00:13:50and take all preventive measures so that
00:13:53the pollution does not spread and so that citizens can be sure that
00:13:57their health, both short-term and especially
00:14:00long-term, is not threatened. Just one more thing for
00:14:03the end, Ms. Radojčić, you said everything you expect from
00:14:07that committee meeting on
00:14:10Monday in terms of who will come, in terms of
00:14:13constructiveness, however, as you said at the
00:14:17beginning of this conversation, the phrase "let the institutions
00:14:21do their job," likewise whenever some disaster happens
00:14:25or some big problem, then likewise work is done on
00:14:29concretizing plans with some similar
00:14:32statements, it is clear that this is what
00:14:36is needed in the coming period, what you, as a
00:14:39committee, but also
00:14:43as a member of an
00:14:46opposition party, can expect from
00:14:49the ruling party in terms of resignations, demands
00:14:53for resignations, or some more
00:14:57concrete steps, if we are already talking about concretizing more
00:14:59concrete actions?
00:15:02Well, as the president of the committee, I did what was within my
00:15:06jurisdiction and what the parliamentary procedure allows, that is a public
00:15:10hearing, I proposed that the public
00:15:13hearing be voted on at the committee meeting, since I cannot
00:15:17decide on it alone, but the committee
00:15:20majority must decide, by which a public hearing differs from
00:15:23a usual committee meeting. So a public hearing is a much
00:15:27stronger democratic instrument
00:15:30for the control of the legislative power over
00:15:32the executive,
00:15:35a public hearing serves to precisely
00:15:38determine responsibility so that everyone has the opportunity
00:15:42to ask and directly get
00:15:44that, I said before how it is possible and why regulations
00:15:48were changed, immediately after those changes in regulations, this
00:15:51uncontrolled import of hazardous
00:15:55waste from mostly Italy and Slovenia happened, we need
00:15:59to get an answer what the customs administration was doing, how come
00:16:02no imported shipment was controlled, why wasn't the
00:16:05warehouse controlled? "What was the State
00:16:08Inspectorate doing? When the first analyses
00:16:12of waste showed that it was
00:16:15hazardous waste, waste with potentially significant
00:16:19negative impact on the environment and health, why wasn't
00:16:23the public alarmed, why did we have to
00:16:26wait almost two years for it, because these analyses for
00:16:30different clients were done in 2024 and
00:16:332025 and 2026. In
00:16:372025, at one session of the Environmental Protection
00:16:40Committee, I asked the representative of the State Inspectorate
00:16:44why they had not published the results
00:16:48of the waste analysis. He told me that
00:16:51the waste analyses at that time did not show that
00:16:55there was any problem with that waste. So these are all
00:16:58questions that we should get answers to
00:17:01at the public hearing. The question of political
00:17:04responsibility is so
00:17:08obvious and direct, given that none of this could have
00:17:12happened if the system had functioned, Prime Minister
00:17:16Plenković is personally responsible for appointing people who are
00:17:19the heads of that system, we know that the
00:17:23person who was at the head of the State Inspectorate
00:17:26is suspected of corruption, and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković appointed
00:17:30her several times to that
00:17:32position, the system is dysfunctional,
00:17:35oversight does not function, that is actually the reason
00:17:39why it is possible that for years hundreds
00:17:42and hundreds of trucks bring hazardous waste and no one
00:17:46asks what is happening there, so political
00:17:49responsibility is truly obvious and crucial.
00:17:52Ms. Radojčić, thank you for
00:17:56this guest appearance and conversation, this was
00:17:59Dušica Radojčić, President of the Environmental Protection Committee.
00:18:02Thank you for your interest and a kind
00:18:06regards.
00:18:23we are now going live meeting in
00:18:27Omiš, we will continue, here
00:18:31it is, we will not give up, that is for sure, thank you
00:18:33all,
00:18:37thank you. Dear
00:18:38Mayor.
00:18:42Here, dear Prime Minister,
00:18:45representatives, Minister, Minister, you have all
00:18:48heard first-hand from the relevant services,
00:18:52the competent services, how this turbulent
00:18:55night, this turbulent morning unfolded.
00:18:58And, here, please, thank you once again, dear
00:19:02President, to you and the Vice-Presidents, we were in contact
00:19:05all night.
00:19:08and in communication, in conversation and here, thank you very much
00:19:12at the very end,
00:19:16thank you very much, Prefect Boban, dear
00:19:19Mayor Močić, Chief Fire
00:19:22Commander, Mr. Tucaković, esteemed
00:19:25Vice-Presidents of the Government, Minister, Ministers,
00:19:28members of the staff, representatives of KBC
00:19:31Split, public voluntary
00:19:35firefighting units of Croatia. police, Red
00:19:39Cross, HEP, Port
00:19:42Authority, I also greet the representatives of the Croatian
00:19:45Army who helped last night,
00:19:48I want to first of all express
00:19:51sympathy and regret for this large fire that
00:19:55broke out last night in Lopi Rogoznica, it spread
00:19:58towards Omiš, towards
00:20:01Split to Mimice in the direction
00:20:04of Makarska, we were indeed connected all evening and all night and
00:20:08this morning, uh, what is
00:20:11most important, according to what we see now, for now there are no
00:20:15confirmed human casualties, I think that is one of the best
00:20:19news in such a devastating, fast-moving fire. What
00:20:22is
00:20:24certainly up to us as the government is to thank
00:20:28first of all all the firefighters, both public and
00:20:31voluntary, here from Omiš, from Split-Dalmatia
00:20:34County, Dubrovnik-Neretva, Šibenik.
00:20:37Lika-Senj, Zadar, their colleagues who
00:20:41based on the orders of the Chief Fire Commander came
00:20:45here from Krapina-Zagorje
00:20:47County, from Koprivnica- Križevci. Slavonia,
00:20:51Bjelovar-Bilogora, the city of Zagreb, Zagreb County,
00:20:55this truly confirms that the entire system, based on
00:20:59the plan that the government adopted in
00:21:02February and the entire firefighting
00:21:05season, is highly integrated, that all
00:21:07components of homeland security
00:21:11are engaged, that mutual coordination and cooperation
00:21:14are excellent, I thank of course all of you who
00:21:18were here last night saving our citizens, saving
00:21:22houses, this was one of the worst fires we have
00:21:25encountered in recent years and we hope
00:21:29that all those who were injured will receive
00:21:32adequate care, which of course Ms. Ivalja said that
00:21:35they will recover, we are here to provide support
00:21:39to Omiš, to the citizens of Omiš after you made
00:21:43the decision on a major disaster, the government will, as it always does in
00:21:46such situations, make decisions on
00:21:50support for the county, support for the city,
00:21:53Mayor Močić in all aspects, all
00:21:57services are engaged and available, of course we will
00:22:01provide appropriate financial support to normalize
00:22:04things and these great damages that have, as can already
00:22:08be seen from the footage, occurred, that they
00:22:11all together be repaired,
00:22:14the Minister of Tourism and the leaders of the Croatian Tourist
00:22:17Board will contribute tourists who were
00:22:21also threatened here, who are perhaps
00:22:24now accommodated in one of the halls here in the sports hall
00:22:28in Omiš or in Gripa in Split,
00:22:32to find alternative accommodation, to help all those
00:22:35who need to get primarily to the facilities where they were
00:22:39accommodated here in the area
00:22:42of Omiš. We have made huge strides
00:22:45in the past ten years in strengthening the Croatian
00:22:48Fire Association,
00:22:52the entire homeland security system, almost
00:22:56600 million euros have been invested, I think this is reflected in such
00:22:59high-quality, high-quality engagement,
00:23:03full capacities of the air forces, so in this fire
00:23:07season, the Croatian army
00:23:10with its capacities and Canadairs, so
00:23:14all six aircraft were in function, we have shown that
00:23:18we have the ability to help others
00:23:20when they are in distress, whether it is this fire in France or
00:23:23situations that are almost regular
00:23:27crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina and helping people there, it will be the same
00:23:31here and I believe that it is exactly the same currently in Pelješac, all four
00:23:34Canadairs, Mr. Tucaković, which arrived early
00:23:38this morning in Omiš, are now in the Pelješac area,
00:23:42as they worked in Pučišća on Brač, uh,
00:23:45the most important thing is to help those who are in distress, so that
00:23:49here in Omiš understand that they are not alone, that the government is with
00:23:53them, that the state is there, that all services are available
00:23:56and I am sure that we will follow this
00:23:59work, participate in the maximum way and try to
00:24:03eliminate the consequences of this fire
00:24:06which was indeed, in terms of the speed of its development, incredibly
00:24:10swift, we were here until 3:00 AM this morning
00:24:14in contact, I must admit that I had a realistic picture and that is why all
00:24:18six members of the government are here this morning.
00:24:21we will do everything necessary to help the people of Omiš
00:24:24and all those who unfortunately suffered in this
00:24:28earthquake.
00:24:33Thank you very much, dear Prime Minister, once again the same.
00:24:52We could hear the Prime Minister's address at the meeting in
00:24:55Amiša, six government members are in
00:24:58Amiša, says Prime Minister Plenković,
00:25:02they are working to help in further
00:25:04fire remediation, and support for Amiša has started to arrive from
00:25:08all sides, the city of Split responded by organizing
00:25:11an reception center in the large hall of the Gripa sports center in
00:25:15Split. Immediately after that we are connecting with the Mayor
00:25:18of Split Tomislav.
00:25:28Tell me, what is the situation in Gripama, we know that
00:25:32since yesterday, evacuees from
00:25:34the area from Lokve Ogoznica to Omiš have been received, what is
00:25:38the situation now, how many under your
00:25:41care? First of all, I want to thank all
00:25:45emergency services, firefighters 112,
00:25:49police. Split-Dalmatia
00:25:51County, all institutions here in the city
00:25:55of Split, 321 people are here in
00:25:58Gripa, 38 people additionally
00:26:01ended up in... ABC, the information I
00:26:04received is that eight left the clinical hospital center, but
00:26:08in any case, maximum support from all
00:26:12here and we are fully
00:26:14available, I ask citizens to follow all instructions
00:26:18of institutions, of course any help is welcome,
00:26:21any form, but it is important here to follow
00:26:25instructions, all who are sheltered here, everything
00:26:29is provided for them and of course we will
00:26:32inform the time, the city of Split
00:26:35did its maximum, we will additionally allocate
00:26:38funds from the budget for such
00:26:41situations, Mr.
00:26:43Šuta, it is clear that this area
00:26:47near Split, where the fire was,
00:26:50all the land in Croatia is dry from this
00:26:53drought that was, here it is, since this morning a big fire
00:26:56and in Pelješac, yesterday on Brač, you said
00:27:00that you will know if something is needed. for help for
00:27:03evacuees, but is there any way to prepare
00:27:06for, God forbid, a new outbreak of fire that we saw last night
00:27:10how destructive it can be? for such
00:27:13situations, the city of Split, we have our
00:27:17headquarters, all protocols that are established
00:27:21such protocols, a headquarters that
00:27:24is normally regulated and reacts in
00:27:28such situations has given an answer to everything, we
00:27:32are... ready at any moment, the headquarters at
00:27:35the city level, Split-Dalmatia County, of course
00:27:38at the national level, each of us had to go through such training
00:27:41and I am convinced that for
00:27:45all challenges that exist, we will be ready, but
00:27:49certainly a big thank you to all our fellow citizens and all those who
00:27:53offered help. Mr. Šuta,
00:27:56we could, exactly what you said, all who offered help, we could
00:28:00see that many. participated
00:28:03in the distribution of aid, the evacuation itself and
00:28:07everything else, what is the situation now? We
00:28:11are currently not, you are live on the program
00:28:14in the area around the fire site,
00:28:17are the roads open, is the fire still
00:28:20neutralized as it was the case
00:28:23this morning? I, as far as I got information
00:28:27that the situation is stable, but I really don't know the details
00:28:30at this moment, it's difficult. It is to talk about it, mm,
00:28:34all authorities are informing
00:28:37the public about it, but it is important that there is a reaction
00:28:41that everything that needs to be enabled as
00:28:45help, that we are on track, Mr.
00:28:48Šuta, thank you very much for this conversation
00:28:52and guest appearance, this was the mayor of Split, Mr.
00:28:55Tomislav Šuta. Thank
00:28:57you.
00:29:14The fire we are following, which broke out last night in Lokver Ogoznica, carried by strong
00:29:18winds during the night, broke through all the way to Omiš. The fire devoured
00:29:22houses and cars, people were evacuated by road
00:29:25and sea, the injured were taken care of at the Clinical Hospital Center
00:29:28Split. More than 300 firefighters fought the fire all night.
00:29:32With the first light, air forces were also
00:29:36included in the extinguishing, we also spoke with people from the shelters who found themselves
00:29:39there last night and
00:29:42I was in my house, the guests had all
00:29:45left, but I stuck to it, I thought
00:29:49it wouldn't be so dangerous, I said the captain
00:29:51is the last to leave the ship, and when my cousin
00:29:55came out and screamed Ljubice, come on,
00:29:57she says, there are sparks flying in the yard, I
00:30:01then ran out, the house was left unlocked,
00:30:05I grabbed my purse, look how I started and
00:30:09we got in the car and quickly got on the main road down
00:30:12there and drove maybe 5 meters on the main road
00:30:15in that neither left nor right nor forward nor back and when I
00:30:19looked behind me, the entrance to the ramp was already burning, one burning in
00:30:23this other in front of my house, where a new house
00:30:27was being built, and so we continued to
00:30:30the small port. The fire had already
00:30:33reached us, and when we were there, it moved
00:30:37to the other side, the fire is burning on both sides, I'm driving
00:30:41the car, my foot is just like this on the
00:30:44accelerator
00:30:47brake, one car hits,
00:30:51scratches me it goes from that lane to this one,
00:30:55now one lane goes, now another goes, they are changing lanes, the fire
00:30:58is licking from one side and the other.
