Build more escalators!!!

10 is much too young for a great dog. RIP, Jamie.

[Sicon]

Well, obviously, we need to outlaw escalators. </liberal logic>

Muslim woman strangled by her burkha in freak go-kart accident

Just reminiscing...

[Veto!]

I always thought that Sonny Bono went out in a rather sporty fashion.

Yes indeed, and the lovely Natasha Richardson died of a head injury sustained on a ski slope as well.

Maybe we should have a thread on Who Had The Most Stylish Death.

[headsonpikes]

Thank you.

She was the very benchmark for proper dog behavior and died well and swiftly without suffering.

I hope that poor woman died swiftly.

with prizes to encourage Hollyweirdo’s to go for the gold?

She was able to get the scarf pulled out but when she bent over to do so her hair became entangled.

LOL. Great idea. I think we're onto something socially significant. Ridding the world of bad actors.

I’m guessing it happened slowly enough that she knew what was happening, but too fast for her to be able to dig through her purse (particularly in a panicked state, and particularly after she got her hair caught). Just terrible.

Escalators are dangerous no matter what you're wearing. Hubby works on elevators and has helped some buddies with escalators. They've found shoes, packages, all sorts of things that get yanked down into the pit by the steps.

Would some of you be chortling if it had simply been a winter hat?

[sharkhawk]

I read 20 for 1997 to 2003. 3.5 a year is “shocking”?

[SkyDancer]

A Jihad on escalators.

[chris37]

HAHAHAHA :D

That is just hilarious!

[ZULU]

Evil?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Was she standing on her head while riding the escalator?

[GeronL]

lol

Perhaps it is a tendency of some persons to say things that immediately come to mind. I am sure if they had been there, most of them would have tried to help the woman. Still, sometimes such statements cut pretty deep.

I have read Winston Churchill's accounts and his indictment of Islam. I am absolutely livid when I read of the wicked senseless acts which includes the bombing of the subway in London 2005. Add to that the swines that beheaded Drummer Rigby in England. I have no brief for that Islam.

I am just trying to say what I said to my Liberal wife (bless her) when I read of the accident. Poor woman!. Wow! excuse the ramble.

[Vigilanteman]

Yeah, at the peril of her life.

[ZULU]

We need more escalators.
