[00:19.31]房顶工人
[00:31.61]I worked in the basement of a Caltech campus building
[00:35.17]that had been periodically haunted
[00:37.88]by the specter of the upper half of a roofer
[00:41.07]who had fallen from the six story roof
[00:43.87]twenty years earlier.
[00:46.69]On the day of the 6.0 Whittier earthquakes of 1987
[00:52.41]I arrived at the building an hour earlier than usual
[00:56.17]and took the elevator to the top floor
[00:59.39]where the snack bar was located.
[01:03.04]After buying a cup of coffee from the dispenser
[01:06.24]I strolled out of the snack room
[01:08.43]onto the penthouse balcony
[01:10.26]to gaze over the lovely campus.
[01:13.78]Just as I was about to take a sip1 of coffee
[01:16.87]the whole building jolted2 upwards
[01:19.88]and nearly knocked me off balance.
[01:23.97]Thinking the short earthquake
[01:26.05]could be a precursor3 to an even bigger earthquake,
[01:30.02]I turned to find my way to the stairwell.
[01:33.24]However, as I turned
[01:35.25]I was slammed to the tarmac so violently
[01:38.83]and swiftly that I had no time
[01:41.16]to break my fall with my hands.
[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.
[02:03.80]As I stumbled and limped through the lobby
[02:06.70]I encountered marble wall panels
[02:09.25]that had fallen and broken.
