Misfortune

[Embattle]

The Wild World section from this weeks Auto Express:

ITALY: Caterina Guarnacca, 64, knelt at the spot near a Savona motorway where her son had died in an accident - and was run over by a car.

It's as if sod's law was waiting to kick her up the arse.

Lightning never strikes the same spot twice, anybody?

 

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Cept for that dude whos been hit by lightning 3 times...

 

[Ekydus]

But unless he was stood in the same spot...

 

[Flamin_Squirrel]

True. Although id have thought he'd have been slightly more horizontal after the 1st time.

 

[Jonaldo]

Guess it depends just how big that 'spot' is though, could be the size of a planet...

 

[Testin da Cable]

I think that's quite sad tbh

 

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Agreed

Am I evil for laughing when I first read it?

No, because it was funny. If it wasn't funny people wouldn't buy the Fortean Times book of Strange Deaths.

 

[Sir Frizz]

Depends on your taste in humour.

:/

Like the stupid twats that dive into a river to save their dog that fell into the river; the dog swims to safety and the owner dies.

Irony.

Obviously that's nature sorting itself out, survival of the fittest (or in this case, survival of the dumb animal and death of the suposedly brainy human)

No

It only said she was run over though. Maybe she didn't die.

 

[~Mobius~]

Funny in a sad way.

 

[Durzel]

She was run over whilst kneeling on/near a motorway? How the hell did that happen?!

I would have thought driving over a 64 year old on a motorway has a very high probability that they would be killed.

Well with these new speed cameras they should stop you driving over 60........
