Edit- found this in a "humor" thread. Good example of what I mean

It's fake[/i] >>





True-but its also a commercial. Just never got released.

I thought it was fake, but pretty good. The point is people getting slammed by autos is funny. This is not a moral statement, just an observation. If it looked too fake, people would never have looked at it in the first place.
 
Why am I reminded of Meet Joe Black? 🙂

Or, one of my favorite quotes from the short lived "The Tick" TV series - "You killed the Immortal!?!?"

Damn, I would have loved to have seen that. 😀
 
Yes, I would like to know how she was hit. Where did she cross? was it at a crosswalk? Did the bus go through a light or a stopsign? Probably not any of those, because if it was, it would most likely have been mentioned.Either way, how do they say they would like to criminalize the driver, buncha idiots.
 
I read a more detailed story about this elsewere.

The bus turned a corner after she was crossing the street and THEN hit her. She didn't run out in front of it.

The story also said she was run over by the REAR wheels. How THAT happend is anyone's guess.

(I guess she should have been on her bike and not walking)

Ironic but sad, she was a cutie also.....

<< Susie Stephens, 36, died as she ran across the street during a conference on how to cut road deaths in America.

Susie was killed instantly after leaving her hotel in St Louis, Missouri, to get some photocopies.

The driver of the tour bus said he didn't see her in time and was not charged.

But friends believe the law should be changed.

The story lacks detail. If she was running against a light and got hit by an unsuspecting bus who couldn't stop in time, I believe it's her fault. Had she the green and clipped by a by a turning bus, the driver should be prisoned
 
Once when I stopped at a crosswalk for a pedestrian, a policeman in a Cushman pulled up next to me and yelled at me to move along :Q
 


<< The funny thing here is that the #1 safety expert was unsafe, forgot to look both ways when jaywalking, and got herself killed. >>

This sorta reminds me of two driver's safety/training instructors who worked for my high school. Both were killed in car accidents that were their fault. One was also my football coach, he apparently just got tired of waiting one day so he attempted to go around stopped traffic, crossed into the opposite lane of traffic and was creamed by an 18 wheeler. The other was trying to beat a train...and lost.
