Last Message:
date: 20140123213200, author: gardener4958, message: RT @KronosStar There has been an explosion from inside the apartment building. Several people are down. #KronosStar #DancingDolphinFire #AFDHeroes

The event of interest is a car accident followed by a hazard report.  We suspect this is another van with the other hostages and kidnappers.

In the image appears the call center message selected with the Hazard Report,
the Message in blue color:
Jan 23 20:10:00 ccdata CHECK ON HAZARD[36.06572:24.844364]
And a black point in the map showing the selected event.
The blue section selected was the section analyzed but the event is the black point.
We also think there is a third Van that goes outside (in the red section), but our event of choice is the Hazard because there we have more chances to find something right now.
Thanks,
Jorge, Diego and Walter
(Team 38)

MC 3.2 - Describe the timeline of up to five major events that you discover in the streaming data. This timeline should include information from all three segments of the data stream if needed.    Use specific microblog records and call center data to support your description, but do not simply mimic back the data stream.  Provide a concise description of important participants, locations and durations.  Focus your response on the events themselves, rather than on the individuals reporting the events. Please limit your answer to no more than ten images and 1500 words.

The fire was reported in Dancin Dolphin apartment complex allocated in N Achilleos 1050 ST, 3 GASTech addresses employees were checked in this place reported as Adra Nubarron (Engineering/Geologist), Ovan Bertrand (Facilities group Manager) and Bergen Linnea (IT Group Manager). We think it it may be due the water contamination that makes water being more volatile to fire.
