So... Today Ross, Todd, Amrinder and I went to the silo to get some lunch at 2pm. While we were waiting for our food, we hear someone gasp, and then a thud. Looking over, we noticed that a girl in the taco bell line had collapsed to the ground. People were trying to rouse her, but she seemed to be unconscious.

My decision to take some photographs of this situation might be a little controversial... My reasoning was this:

When the girl fell over, a circle of people gathered around her, and a number of people began to check on her. Others began dialing 911. Dialing 911 on a cell phone probably isn't' the best idea, but the employees at the two restaurants were dialing 911 also.

With so many people checking on her, and so many people calling for help, there wasn't much we could do. My two options were basically to stand there and watch it unfold, or take some photographs to document what I see.

I didn't take these pictures to joke around, or to laugh at what happened. I don't make up the content I post here. I merely post what I see. I talked to a number of people today and discussed whether it was a good idea to take the pictures, and whether or not it would be okay to post them.

To the people present at the time who didn't know me and have never seen this photoblog, the sight of me taking pictures might have seemed rude and inconsiderate. To them, the only purpose of me taking these pictures would have been to show them to friends and laugh about them. However, that wasn't the point...

I didn't take any photographs of her face, so her privacy should be safe. I took photographs of the situation unfolding. Secondly, this blog is all about what I see and experience in my daily life, so certainly this is something I experienced today. If you have any objections to this, feel free to get in touch with me.

A firetruck and ambulance both arrived soon after, and wheeled the girl away on a stretcher. She was conscious and moving quite healthily, so I think she's okay.

It's weird that I've witnessed people being taken away in ambulances two days in a row now, and documented both of them on this photoblog. Yesterday's entry was regarding a car vs. bicycle accident I rode by.
