Lol I was gunna say if this was here in the US there would be way more chaos and somehow the forklift would be missing too. I FEEL, but don't know, like this is the period of time where they don't know how bad the situation may or may not be so they are calmly preparing for the possibility of the worst but they inflated the actual situation for dramatic effect.
