Back home now.
After I last wrote. About 10 minutes later everyone went back into the salon/screen room and sat down to wait for news. A guy came in and said that they would start the film again and you can watch or wait in the foyer. A friend called just as it started up so I went out, had a chat, went back in and sat down as the trailers finished.
Then something surreal happened. The film stopped, screen turned red and a girl came in - in silhouette and backlit from the light in the corridor - she looked and searched for her friend sitting a bit aways from me and said 'we're being evacuated'.
A few seconds of numb comprehension and everyone poured out - the cops had taped off pretty much all around Hötorget and the centre where the crash happened and were telling people to leave the area. Choppers in the sky, cops in protective gear, security personnel - the whole bit. But no fear, no madness or frenzy - people were super cool and kinda just headed wherever they needed to go. The tunnelbana was closed, so I just walked home towards Söder, (got my 11,000 steps! Woo!) picked up some food shopping and now i'm in my pants drinking coffee and checking the news.
A weird fucking thing, to be sure.
And thanks for the concern <3
