Video: Sirens In Jerusalem — Team HonestReporting Takes Cover

November 20, 2012 16:51 by

About two hours ago, the sirens went off in Jerusalem. Two rockets landed south of the city. Nobody was hurt, but in the process, we had to briefly evacuate our office.

The team went downstairs to a more protected area of our building, though I and our webmaster decided to stay in the office and continue working. As I noted in today’s liveblog, it took an air raid siren and a Fajr-5 to get some peace and quiet in the office.

After the all-clear and quick phone calls to loved ones, we continued on with work. But not long afterwards, there were more sirens — this time, from Ban Ki-moon’s motorcade.

Our CEO, Joe Hyams, had the presence of mind to make this video.

    Since your role is to communicate clearly, you really must urgently address the problems with your website. When I try and link to it on IOS, the bage I link to is hidden within seconds by the Backspin popup which I cannot then remove. When I link on my laptop, (usually on Chrome),the story I link to drops down below a blank screen and then half the story below the first 30 or 40 lines disappears. Please sort it!

    Keep up the good work, Joe.

      Anthony,

      Thanks for the heads up. I made a technical mistake with the HTML coding when I put together the emailing. I fixed the problem and you can click on the link in the IDNS to the roundup now. Don’t worry, we weren’t hacked.

    And since I am aon a MAc, I cannot watch the video above since the plugin is missing. And no, I have no intention of installing Flash to make it work. Rather you should upload your videos in a format that works across all platforms…
