No threat or warning was given to politicians or officials prior to Wednesday night's blast.

"It came as a complete surprise," says City Director Christian Alexandersson.

For the employees, it was a humbling event and Thursday's working day began with a joint meeting.

- We informed about what we knew and offered call assistance to those who needed it, says Christian Alexandersson.

- We have a good cohesion among our employees in the City Hall. Today, it feels good that we have each other to talk to, she says.

How are you today?

- After all, I'm fine, says Hanne Skak Jensen.
