Yesterday I gave a deposition In a Storefront Crash case from 2012. It was a tragic crash into a Farmers Insurance office in Renton Washington. A woman named Kaye Hall, who was the office manager was killed.
The case is in litigation so direct comments by me would not be appropriate. See the link to press coverage that tells you the basics of the incident HERE. I was testifying as to the frequency of such crashes, how to prevent them, and other areas of my expertise.
For reference, here is a photo of the scene in 2012:

Fast forward to yesterday. I was deposed in an office in a business park in Riverside California. The court reporter had arrived first and had seated herself at the end of the long conference table. She set up her transcription gear, and she asked me what kind of case I would be giving testimony about. I told her it was a case where a car had driven up to a building to park, but that the driver had mistakenly stepped on the gas instead of the brake, and accelerated over the wheel stop and crashed through the window of an office, killing the woman sitting right inside the window.
I then pointed out the scene directly behind where she was sitting........and that is the ironic part of my deposition. She felt like a sitting duck the rest of the morning.
