– The building has been evacuated, so we can’t go there now. People ate lunch in a public place. They hear the crash, then they check and see a rock or two and a broken car. Later, when they went into the office, they saw that there was a stone there.

He wasn’t there when it happened.

– It gave a different feeling.

He says the municipality should contact the insurance company and all agencies to inform them.

Stones like footballs

– There are also geotechnical experts to find out how serious it is and what we should do next. All employees have been sent home to home offices or other premises, Skjæveland says.
