The mobility scooter crash

Yeah, I agree with you there, Jords. Our blog is getting a bit boring. Maybe we're losing our ability to write! Or maybe exciting things could not be happening as much as they use too. The world must be changing.
Okay enough of that now.
Today something epic happened.
Beka was at work when an old lady on a mobility scooter came into the New World carpark, and accidently crashed into the supermarket. The window broke.
Now on Beka's break, she texted Mum, and when we heard it, it sounded quite dramatic. We were all thinking of an old lady zooming into the carpark, a determined look on her face. She was going too fast, and went careering into the window. Meanwhile, all the checkout people and their customers would be chatting away happily, just like any other day, when a scooter hits the window. The THUD causes everyone to freeze. Then the whole glass window shatters and the old lady goes flipping off the scooter, amidst the debris of broken glass.
She lands with a thud.
3 seconds of silence
All eyes are fixed on the scene. Then everything happens at once.
Everyone goes to help the lady up. There is a siren in the distance. Someone calls the ambulance. Workers find bags and shovels and plastic gloves to clean up the mess.
The ambulance arrives.
Thats what we all thought it would of been like. So, we drove down to have a look. The whole window hadn't shattered, only cracked. Near the bottom there was the occasional big whole. Not big enough for a person to fit through, but big enough to see through, altough it was right at the bottom. And the old lady wouldn't of flipped inside the shop. We saw a red mobility scooter nearby, parked PROPERLY. That was most likely the scooter that hit the window.
Epic, aye?!
