[00:31.61]I worked in the basement of a Caltech campus building

[01:44.67]As I struggled to crawl towards the stairwell
[01:47.96]I felt a sharp jabbing pain of my left ankle.
[01:52.62]I descended4 the stairs to the lobby
[01:55.07]and observed huge cracks in the corners
[01:58.18]and stumbled over chucks of plaster
[02:00.33]that had fallen onto the stairs.
