1999: Dominguez Garcia was killed February 25, 1999, by an airborne cow in Vacaville, California. The animal had strayed onto the highway and was struck by another vehicle, launching it into his lane where it crashed through his windshield


Beware of airborne animals!



You'd think that the driver should have been warned! I mean, what does one expect near Vaca ("cow" in Spanish) ville?

1983: Jimmy Lee Gray, during his execution in a Mississippi gas chamber, died bashing his head against a metal pole behind the chair he was strapped into. The poisonous gas had failed to kill him but left him in agony and gasping for eight minutes.





The crime he was being being executed for was kidnapping, anally raping and killing a 3 year old girl. That while on parole after raping and killing a 16 year old girl. So no pity here.

Well, I don't think a government should torture or kill such a brutally way. But of course, my pity is quite limited hearing his case as well...


To be fair, that stuff would kill 99% of humans within 30 seconds or so. This guy was an anomaly. And if one were to believe in higher powers....well...

The bear had been hit by another vehicle, launching it into the oncoming lane where it landed on the SUV.


Umm...wouldn't it have been a Canadian black bear? Why are the Canadians always trying to pin their bad luck on us?

Well, at least some tigers had their fun. A friend of mine was stuck on his train today thanks to a suicidal throwing himself on the track. Really nite for the train driver to see it coming for a mile or more and not being able to do anything to prevent it. ****ing cowards!

1986: More than 1,700 were killed after a limnic eruption from Lake Nyos in Cameroon, released approximately 100 million cubic metres of carbon dioxide that quickly descended on the lake and killed oxygen-dependent life within a 25 kilometre (15 mile) radius, including three villages. The same phenomenon is also blamed for the deaths of 37 near Lake Monoun in 1984.


Holy ****ing ****!


Saw that on the Science Channel. There are even theories out there revolving around massive CO2 bubbles causing the Bermuda Triangle disappearances.


I know that I've been subjected to massive C02 and Hydrogen Sulfide eruptions at times while wearing my Bermudas. Is that the same thing?

2005: Francisco Portillo, a 34-year-old El Salvadoran, was strangled after the hood of his sweatshirt became entangled in the teeth of a escalator at Porter Square Station in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was alledgely drunk at the time.


Escalator, elevator... That's why I prefer good 'ol stairs!


After HS I worked for an appliance repair company. One of the older guys used to bust my chops for wearing a tie. One story he had was of a repairman who had read some business self help book and decided that he would improve his prospects by being more professional, which included wearing a tie. That was, until the thing was caught in a spinning dryer and nearly decapitated him.

2004: Francis "Franky" Brohm, 23, of Marietta, Georgia was leaning out of a car window and decapitated by a telephone pole support wire. The car's intoxicated driver, John Hutcherson, 21, drove nearly 12 miles to his home with the headless body in the passenger seat, parked the car in his driveway, then went to bed. A neighbour saw the bloody corpse still in the car and notified police. Brohm's head was later discovered at the accident scene.

2012
Savannah Hardin, 9, from Montgomery, Alabama died of seizure-related complications after running non-stop for several hours. She was reportedly forced to run by her stepmother and grandmother as punishment for lying about eating a candy bar.


Well, at least your US laws are tough on criminals!


Anthony Hensley, 37, from Des Plaines, Illinois drowned after his kayak was capsized by a swan, which then blocked him from escaping to shore.

My mother always warned me about swans. She may have been right after all!


An unnamed Chinese man, 42, from Haikou died during an altercation with a 41-year-old woman over a parking space. The woman reportedly grabbed his testicles and squeezed them until he was rendered unconscious. The man was later pronounced dead at the hospital from the injuries.




Erica Marshall, a 28-year-old veterinarian in Florida, died when the horse she was treating in a nearby high-oxygen chamber kicked the wall, releasing a spark from its horseshoes and triggering an explosion.

The south Korean army had or has it's own Starcraft Team! They have soldiers who "work" playing Starcraft in the leagues!
