Fate?

Almost being in a wreck is ALWAYS better than being in one, of course. On the drive back from Texas to Oregon, my sister and I were almost in this wreck. Literally, if we hadn't stopped at a convenience store right before that mile marker, we would have been in that wreck. Instead (thankfully) we were stuck right behind it for 3 hours. Driving through that spot after they opened the highway was creepy. You could see skidmarks for a solid mile, and part of the guardrail was out, you could tell a car had gone through it.

A runaway truck smashed into 11 other vehicles on Interstate 5 in the mountains north of Los Angeles on Wednesday, injuring 11 people, authorities said.

"foggy conditions were a factor"...yeah, no joke. At the bottom of the hill was zero visibility. We definitely stopped wondering why the cars didn't move out the of the 18wheeler's way once we drove through that spot.

Sad.

duuuuude.....


HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

I seriously couldn't stop laughing when I was reading this article.

An embarrassed driver needed a lift from emergency services after her attempt to use a Wellington parking building elevator nosedived.
She drove her Ford Falcon into the car lift in the Taranaki St building shortly after 3pm yesterday and pressed the down button, but her towbar caught on a second-floor ledge as the lift descended – leaving her in a slow drop to the ground floor.


What really got me was the fact that she wasn't really freaked out, she was actually laughing about it. Which is what I totally would have done. In fact, after I totalled my parent's Ford Explorer, I was cracking jokes in the ambulance. There might have been blood streaming down my face at the time, but I was still being my sarcastic, awesome self. I wonder how many bloody patients that paramedic flirted with?
