After we watched the tape, Julian Craft told us to write an incident report. At that moment, we had to write the report by hand using the forms, he gave us. We were allowed to talk to each other. We worked on our reports for about twenty minutes. Then Julian Craft asked us to go the laboratory and prepare a typed report using BLICQ format. He specifically instructed us not to go to the nearest “Coffee Time”, although it was my original intention. I went to the CIS laboratory and occupied a computer at the row A. I saw some of my classmates in the laboratory, as well as Julian Craft. I remember discussing BLICQ format with Olanie and Wieslaw. I started writing the report, but I did not have enough time to complete it, as we had another class at 12:00. I was going to finish my report during the week-end, but my first priority was to complete a project in Advanced C course. I worked on it for the whole week-end and there was no time left for the incident report.

Re: Incident Report

Julian Craft showed us videotape that was to imitate an incident. It appeared that his intention was to give us an exercise in writing incident reports.

The incident occurred at 11:05 AM on Friday, August 11, 2000. Julian Craft was conducting a class in Professional Writing (ENGL 225) in the Room 133 for the group 04CDS1. He brought a trolley with a TV and camcorder to the class. At the beginning of the class, Julian Craft told us that we were going to watch some videotape.

The tape was approximately two minutes long and it had no sound. The videotape appeared to be copied from some TV series. I can affirm that I have never watched this particular series before. To the best of my recollection, the sequence of events was as follows:

Scene 1:

It was a room, supposedly a security guard office. A man in a uniform was already in when another man in a state of agitation ran into the room. It seemed that the man who ran into the room told the security guard some striking news.

Scene 2:

This episode took place in an underground parking lot. Two gentlemen from the first scene ran into the parking lot and I saw them gesticulating and pointing to something.

Scene 3:

A black car was leaving the parking lot at the speed that seemed unusually high, at least for a parking lot.

Scene 4:

A woman was lying on the ground of the parking lot. I did not notice her moving. She was covered with some cloth up her waist or probably higher. I saw a red stain on her, but I cannot recollect the position of that stain.

Scene 5:

This episode pictured different people in the same underground parking lot. I do not recall very well who they were, who was talking to whom, and in what sequence. These people looked more like officials rather than civilians to me and the whole scene looked like some investigation was taking place. There was a policeman (young black male) and another gentleman in a blue shirt who looked like a detective (older white male).
