Oh my god that's sad.

"God only takes the good people," said fellow student Moshe Meisels, 21.

Somebody just had his faith shaken.

A german  carkilling jews.  Anybody check the car for a swastika?

No!

You don't get to include that picture in such a sad story. I can not be the only person currently struggling with the laughter and sadness.

No. Bad newspaper including that photo. It's not just the hat, I'm not going "haha, foreign cultures are funny and weird". His head... his neck, why is it doing that? It's like someone photoshopped it to bring his head 6 inches closer to her. She looks like she's been forced into the wedding. But the hat is funny...

WTF?

That can't really be two Americans can it?

Wow, just wow.

Modified wooden...oh, the hell with it.

I heard the family living in the hat is adopting the baby....

I hope they catch the hit and run drivers.

That said, if she was ejected from the cab, I suspect she wasn't wearing her seatbelt....

The hat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shtreimel

The hat is only funny if you don't understand how weather patterns work.

Nachman is rocking the shtreimel in that wedding photo.

Orthodox so mightn't be familiar with seatbelts & whatnot.  Besides if she was in early or active labor, sometimes it's a bit tricky to get comfortable.....

Nathan and Raizy Glauber
Nachman and Raizel Glauber
No. Pick one.

The hat might have saved his life as some kind of airbag.

They drive, just not on Saturday.

And she wouldn't have been overtly forced into it, just whined at constantly because she wasn't married yet.

Incredible that the driver survived that.

Being ejected was probably briefly uncomfortable. There's also the "I'm in a cab, seatbelts aren't needed" mentality.

Slaxl: No!

Oh good, so it's not just me then.

I'm guilty of this, and now that I think about it I don't have an explaination.

I'm a pessimistic dick most of the time, and snarky to boot.

But that's some depressing shiat right there.

The Matrix has reset itself. The Chosen One must survive to fight again.Maybe in this version, all the Muggles will be wizards too and I'll get to shag Draco.

I couldnt read the article. Earlier in the week a local teen tried to commit suicide by crashing into another car at 100mph. The other driver died, the kid survived. Farkin farks man...

Anyone who invokes God on this one needs to shut their stupid yap and think about it for just a moment.  Unless they're going to say "God is a real dick sometimes", that is.

Had this been a muslim couple, I doubt there would be a lot of pokes at how they were dressed, but, since it wasn't a Christian, Hindu, Buddha or Jew, it's full speed ahead with the anti-Jewish humor.

Coincidence that a young Jewish couple was killed by a German car?  I think not.

Bontesla: Oh my god that's sad.

Very.

Good headline though.

Somewhere a dragster is missing one of its rear wheels.

Certainly inelegant.

BMW driven by Hitler's Ghost kills ultra-Orthodox couple...nope, no irony here.

Reminds me of an incident when I lived in Mass.  Young couple with baby in back seat hit a deer.  Apparently the deer's antlers impailed both of them and the baby survived.

The tragic couple were only 21.  Probably don't have a car and like most New Yorkers have to rely on car service when a car is needed.  I'm a New Yorker and take taxis occasionally.  I try to  remember to wear seat belts but know a lot of taxi passengers do not wear them.  In this case, woman is seven months pregnant; should be an added reason to wear a seat belt. But her added girth and the couple's probable anxiety over her stomach pains in the 7th month of pregnancy was an added reason that seat belts were not worn.  The driver who was most likely wearing a seat belt survived.  Lesson to be learned.  Wear seat belts all the time when you're in the back seat!

So sad that they won't get to raise their son (if he survives).  But there's lots of other family members who will step up. And speaking of Orthodox Jewish families, "Fiddler on the Roof" is on Turner Classic Movies this afternoon at 4:45.  One of my favorite musicals.

That sentence made so much sense

What the fark?!

 He wanted to murder someone else while killing himself?! That's seriously farked up. Lock him away for life or execute him.

/I do not have sympathy for that kind of shiat.

fark that is sad...Anyone know if there is any info on where donations to the family can be made?

They didn't pray hard enough.

Also the "don't want my baby crushed by a seatbelt in case of accident" mentality.  Really, folks, do you think that kid would have survived if it was belted?

Depending on where the seatbelt was sitting, the kid could of been sitting on the floor board looking for a tit to suck on.

Meh, cycle of life and all that.

But, for those who believe that this is the will of god, do you praise god for killing them?

FriarReb98: Guess the baby rolls on Shabbos.

I hate you for making me laugh, dammit.
