Wow. She was saved by a huge carbon footprint. You know, if just one child's life can be saved by carbon-based fuels, it's all worth it.

While there for a week, she started a band called the Fluffy Skulls...Even twelve year olds feel a need to call their bands something edgy nowadays. Sigh :(

What damage to her lungs might the soot cloud,which must have occurred on landing,have caused? I have no doubt that will be part of the impending suit against the owners and/or managers of the building.
Sounds like it was an old incinerator chimney.

Probably enough soot damage for her parents to sue.

I like the one JD came up on Scrubs “7 car pileup”.

Amazing story. From the headline, I expected to learn that she had landed on Al Gore.

No, but she apparently named her band after him.

Considering how she could have been scathed, breaking both legs isn’t so bad.
