"accident related injuries" sounds strange for some reason.

I'm going to reserve judgement until Pat Robertson tells me why God smote this particular sinner in this particular manner.

/let's see you conjugate "smite."

That's a change from when the earth figuratively opens up and swallows you whole. I mean, it happens all of the time figuratively - but literally?

It was actually a fudged DEA investigation into a meth lab. They got carried away digging the survellience tunnel.

"accident related injuries" sounds strange for some reason.


Well there's work related injuries, sports related injuries, sex related injuries, alcohol related injuries, etc. accident related injuries are the ones that don't fall into any other category. A paper cut or nail gun injury is probably work related. Runner's nipple or a torn ACL is probably sports related. Rug burns or genital chaffing are probably sex related injuries. Alcohol related injuries vary wildly. Having a sinkhole open up inside your house and swallow you is either an accident related injury or divine smiting. If Pat Robertson tells us this man was not smitten, then it must be an accident.

This actualy ran in one of the papers the printing company I work for prints (auburn journal). That is not one of the ways to die I would want to suffer through.

Yes, the earth does swallow. There was some guy in the news around here whose house was built over an old mine. With the rains we've had, a sink-hole opened up under him and swallowed him and his house up. He was buried under some rubble, but survived!

/end of troll

Ok, I'm not ok with this story. Something is rather off. It deserves a wtf?

"the earth under you living room"

Nice.
 
2006-04-24 02:33:46 PM
there's a link to "watch the gaping hole dimesnions" and all I got was some crazy ass reporter that went crazy in the editing room... but no gaping hole... the soaring eagle in the sky was a nice touch... not...
 
2006-04-24 02:39:09 PM
Yeah, WTF is up with the stories? TFA said it happened in his kitchen IIRC, but the linked video ( which, BTW, does NOT have the dimensions, nor does it show the hole ) said it happened in the living room. CNN can't get it's story straight?
 
2006-04-24 03:04:22 PM
I spend 77% of my time in my house.

If I'm in my car, I'm usually 10-15 away from my house, so most of my car accidents would happen there.

Statistics like this are silly.

The article also said the guy was 27, but the video said the guy was 32.

82% of work related accidents happen while at work.
96% of sports related accidents happen while playing sports.
98% of sex related accidents happen while having sex.
72% of alcohol related accidents happen while drunk.
78% of statistics are made up.

I live in the area and a lot of abandoned gold mines never even documented are built on. This is really sad because he was a cool guy. I submitted this story yesterday but I guess my headline wasn't clever enough. What a way to go. makes me nervous though because my house sits on an old gold mine site.

This figure now includes the earth under you_ living room literally opening up and swallowing you whole.

I'd like to try for an R, if you please, submitter.

When I heard that a "huge hole opened up," I immediately thought Paris Hilton was up to her old tricks again.

/got nothing

So wait, rescuers show up meaning he's still alive or theres no one to rescue. They cant figure out how to get him out, so they decide to come back 2 days later and fish out his body?
