When I came to work on Monday, I noticed one of the decorative stone pillars along the building's sidewalk was damaged. I just noticed it from a distance as I was coming into the building. When I was leaving for lunch that day, there were some people milling around the area, so I walked over to see what was going on. There were tire tracks on the sidewalk, there was a lot of the stone that was broken off or damaged, and there was a plastic light cover and several plastic connector pins lying on the ground. One of our IT guys said he'd been looking at archives from the security cameras and said a black Ford Explorer had crashed into the building - going at a fairly good speed. He tried to explain what had happened, but it didn't make a lot of sense. After seeing the videos below, it still doesn't make a lot of sense.

The first video below is the longest, and shows the entire time from when the truck entered the property, stopped for about a minute, then quickly left (over the grass), through a neighboring parking area, back across the grass, and slammed into the building. A man and a woman got out, seemed to be arguing, and then the man got back in. Someone was trying to get the woman to get back in, but she didn't. Whoever was driving backed up, then drove over the curb as they were leaving. The woman walked off in the same direction.

If the truck had come in about 1 foot to the left, he would have missed the column completely, gone through the glass and ended up parked in my boss's office.

When you watch the first video below, look at the people after the crash. Who was driving? Who was in the front seat? Was anybody in the back? Did the driver ever really get out? Were there two or three people in the truck? Who opened and closed each door? Who drove away? Why didn't the girl get back in the car? Do you think the driver picked her up on the side of the building, out of camera range?

There's no right and wrong answers, we're pretty perplexed too. Unfortunately even at the full resolution of these cameras, the images aren't clear enough to make out the license place number. But if you see a black Ford Explorer driving around Plano Texas with a smashed in front right side, let me know, okay? I've got some pieces that belong to it.

This is the full-length video from camera 6.

This is from camera 5, showing the truck entering the parking area and stopping.

This is from camera 5, showing the truck hurrying away from where it had stopped.

Here's the "low bandwidth" version from camera 6, showing just the part where the truck comes over the median and crashes into the building.

This one is from camera 17, which is inside the building looking out the doorway. It shows the truck driving by after the crash, and a few seconds later, the girl can be seen walking by.

Here's a third sequence from camera 5, showing the wrecked vehicle driving away.
