At the end of March we got tons of reports that a crazy siren blasted around U Street/14th Street that sounded just like the one from the movie The Purge.
To complete the dystopian picture, this ambulance coming down 14th St in DC has got an air raid siren on. pic.twitter.com/zkRvxoiPPh

Well, funny thing about that – it was from the movie The Purge!! Thanks to all who forwarded on the report from Dcist:
“The authenticity of the footage was confirmed by American Medical Response, the private ambulance company contracted by the city to assist with 911 calls.
The company went on to say, “Once the video was posted, AMR management received two resignations before an investigation could be conducted.”
If I could find the right emoji I’d insert it here. Oh well this’ll have to do for me:
“But please remember: this is only a work of fiction. The truth, as always, will be far stranger.”
