500 million, can you go to Channel 40, please? My stock right now, but I just heard a really loud bang, probably southeast of my position, maybe four or five blocks. You're thinking maybe a crash of some sorts or maybe some fireworks? What are you thinking? Well, it's not gunshots. Possibly a crash, maybe fireworks. I didn't see anything sparkles. I'm like maybe a same a crash. Copy, I'm showing you still at 815 South East 11th Street. You said it's about how many blocks south of you? Somewhere between 3 and 5. I can't leave my stop right now. Copy that. I'm going to put it to me. I'll get care of it. Copy that. I'm going to put it in at Southeast 9th and East Railroad. Somewhere on there.
