I remember when it was struck by an earthquake :(

So do I! I had a Jason Werth bobblehead on top of a file cabinet. Poor Jason fell off and broke his neck. A little TLC from my wife and some Super Glue and Jason was back in shape.

I remember when it was struck by an earthquake :(
My wife and daughter traveled to DC that day and were waiting on the Metro when the eathquake occurred. I was at work and a co-worker asked me what time they were supposed to arrive and told me what had happened. I anxiously started calling my wife’s cellphone and couldn’t reach her but left a vm. She called me in a few minutes and didn’t even know what had happened. They were fine and weren’t even delayed for very long.

Being it is one of the tallest structures in the local area, doesn't that happen all the time?
