How to use interesting in a sentence?

  1. Ralph Northam:

    I would also say, we knew that this storm was coming, we put warnings out. Why don’t you start asking some of these individuals that were out on the highway for hours one, did you know about this storm, two, why did you feel it was so important to drive through such a snow storm, and three, in hindsight, do you think maybe you should have stayed home or wherever you were rather than getting out on Interstate 95? I think that would be interesting, to hear that side of it.
