| 652140 | 2008-03-23 22:34:00 | As far as I know this has happened to quite a few people in the States. Saw a 60 Minutes piece (or similar) on it years ago. There's apparently an easy way to build a venting system into the drains so that if they're blocked they vent the suction, and there's a lobby to make this mandatory. | Deane F (8204) | ||

| 652143 | 2008-03-23 23:57:00 | Pardon the pun but that sucks. It happened six months ago and she died recently. The author of Fight Club is mentioned around this news story too because he a wrote short story based on this urban legend (stash.ableapp.com). |

| 652144 | 2008-03-24 00:00:00 | Nothing on Snopes . . . . . . . and I wouldn't think there'd be a link there either . KTLA is a Tribune Station . . . not interested in urban legends, myths or mythis (Mrs . ) either! If indeed it becomes a bad post, I shall make the necessary contrite contraction . :punk |
