| 529849 | 2007-03-04 06:17:00 | So, you can't get him to redo the whole thing for a final "take"? Even if you explain that you weren't fully prepared for the filming? Nah. Probably against rules of coroner-ship or something. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 529850 | 2007-03-04 17:24:00 | Well . . today's news says it was a Mexican woman who had a blowout in a front tire . . . . and she wasn't wearing a seatbelt and got thrown out and died upon impact with the center guard rail . It is typical of most Mexican drivers to NOT wear a seatbelt as it is some sort of insult to their driving abilities . . . . they are a very proud race . . . and a lot of them are dead for that pride . Another interesting point is that blowouts are very rare here . . . we don't usually hear of that happening any more . I am not discounting the possibility that she had used tires on the truck and one might've failed that way by being run in the opposite direction of original rotation . Radials do that if they get run backwards from their original installed rotation . They de-laminate and fail . Speeds on that freeway run about 90-100 mph (160 . 9 kph) anyway . . . the posted limit is 75 mph (120 . 7 kph), but no-one every obeys it . This kinda reminds me of a scene from "Mom & Dad Save The World" . . . a very bad grade-c movie that has some aliens in training about a grenade . . and one by one they all die trying to learn how it works by pulling the pin . :groan: |

| 529852 | 2007-03-04 22:54:00 | Probably...but she got killed b/o being thrown out and landing in the guard rail where she bled to death. The newest reports are that she had 4 small kids and no husband. |

| 529854 | 2007-03-05 04:53:00 | OK . . . we do NOT! And just to prove it, here's a vid of a short drive East on Devonshire to State, where I turn left (North) and get as far as another traffic lights or so . ( . youtube . com/watch?v=tUa9vRARrXs" target="_blank">www . youtube . com) Oh . . . yes that's a crack in the windshield . . . got a new one ordered! Don't mess with my rubber ducky though! :p |
