Y’know what else is lucky? That the blade rolled between the concrete bumpers and remained at ground level, instead of hitting one and possibly being deflected toward a window. ---

Their was a YouTube video maybe ten years ago where a Ring camera caught a similar concrete saw blade coming loose. It bounded across the yard and buried itself in the wall of a house. Followed shorty by a panicked worker who removed the saw blade and rolled it back to the truck and got the hell out of Dodge. The city did track him down as I recall. ---

Oh, yeah! One of the videos has a view from inside the store. One the blade hits, the camera view jolts, and all the items rock back and forth. ---

“The blade MAY have gotten loose”?? Check your saws. The one missing a blade? That’s it.
