As a demonstration, the caller sets off a bomb in the company laboratory's parts warehouse. Although most employees were in a meeting and wasn't in the area at the time, a cleaning lady was changing a fluorescent light bulb outside the warehouse when the bomb went off and was injured as a result of the blast.
