"I TOLD YOU I'D BE ON THE TELEVISION IN EVERY HOUSE EVEN IF I HAD TO DO IT ONE BY ONE!"

There are some really big hills in that part of Cincinnati. I'd hate to live there in the winter.

Wanted for questioning

submitted this last night with a better headline ..... or so i thought... oh well.

Does this go on his record?

brap: Now back to Tim in the weather copter.

*man throwing ice cubes out of window*

Today we are experiencing localized hail. Back to Trina with some breaking news.

*stabbing co-anchor*

Bill is being brutally murdered! More from the "Make Your Own Newsteam" after this message.

Ha! I internet love you.

Well, I'm sure his co-workers will be completely mature about it and not mention the accident again.

"Trying to negotiate a turn" is news lingo for "he wasn't paying attention, was going way too fast and/or a cell phone was involved"

Seriously...how do you 'negotiate a turn' so badly you end up hitting a house unless one of the above conditions apply?

schattenteufel: I had a GF who lived in that area of Cincinnati.
Crap like this happens all the time.
Many of those people have no clue how to drive in snow.


Hanging my head in shame. Unfortunately it is very true.

skinink: Is Bailey Quarters ok?

Yes, yes she is!

Is Bailey Quarters ok?


At least.

As God as my witness, I swear I thought cars could turn.

Hmmm... could this have been a rare appropriate use of the Irony Tag?

Well, at least they got the exclusive.

Bob Herzog is an awesome reporter, he does Dance Party Friday every Friday morning at 5:45a if there's no issues on the roads. You can watch some of them at http://www.youtube.com/user/Local12News and look on the right for some of his famous dances.

Do the sprinkler and lawnmower, Bob!

Still looks pretty good. Except for the hairstyle.

But I came here for the pictures of drivers who "failed to negotiate turns".

"And look out at the corner of 14th and Elm, because I just dropped my bagel!" ...

Hey, WKRC in Cincinnati is a show on Nick at Night.

Icy conditions come to mind, speaking as someone whose grown up driving in the snow and ice of Buffalo, there are times when no amount of caution will save you if you hit a black ice spot.

Still, your point is (mostly) valid.

That would fall under "going too fast". If you're going fast enough to hit a house when you hit an icy patch, you're driving too fast for conditions.

There was an episode where Les ran over some people with his WKRP Action News scooter. Right after Herb sold him a lot of insurance. It had the classic Nesman description: "The scooter ran back and forth on the porch several times and then it seemed to become possessed. It knocked down the front door and ran right in..."

That and his description of Herb's boat going down the interstate with him, the little American flag blowing proudly in the wind.

With black ice, sometimes 0.5mph is "going too fast". Actually, sometimes 0mph is too fast, if you are pointed downhill. You can stand on the brakes and your car WILL NOT STOP. You could be mario andretti jr and you'd be farked.

But yeah, good drivers recognize when conditions can be like that you stay the fark off the road. Or trail a plow/salt truck.

As God is my witness, I thought traffic guys could drive.

Slaming on the breaks when you hit an icy patch is not the correct course of action.

In bobs defense:

Picture going down a hill. The road turns right, 90 degrees, still downhill. The house is maybe 15 ft off the road.

Yeah, you might brake something.

bob's having a bad day today

schattenteufel: Heh. I remember back when I applied to go to the University of Cincinnati, I spelled of Cincinnati wrong on the check for the application fee.

About a dozen years ago when the job for Postmaster in Bethel, Alaska, opened, most of the applicants misaddressed their applications to Arkansas.

/cool story, bro!

Subby: Not News: Car crashes into home. News: Driver is reporter for local TV station. FARK: It's their traffic guy

I'd argue that a car crashing into a home IS news....

"And now heres a check on the traffic. Ollie?"


"I CRASHED!!!"
