Default Holy crap, that had to hurt!

I was in the break room about half an hour ago and was watching a car chase down in Houston that was lasting over an hour.

The guy, I guess he was ready to stop, takes his truck off the road, jumps a road, flips, and the guy gets ejected. The camera zooms in to him laying on the ground, then flips to the news room immediately with the guy apologizing for showing it.

I had to get back to work, but I wonder if he lived...:dunno:

years ago there was a guy that stopped on a fwy interchange
he had aids and was mad at hmos for not taking care of him or something
he was in a pickup and had his dog with him
in the bed was a big sign that said "HMOs are in it for the money"
he was there for a couple hours i think and then sat in the cab with his dog and all of a sudden the cab burst into flames
he got out but the dog never did
when he got out he looked like he was in pain and proceeded to pull a shotgun out of the bed of the truck
he put it on the ground and put his mouth on the end and blew his brains out

all the news choppers were zoomed in on the guy and right when he pulled the trigger my brother changed to channel to see if there was a better angle
the cameras stayed on the scene for a few minutes while a pool of blood increased in size

since then all news choppers zoom out when they think something graphic might happend during a chase

I saw that thing this morning. The guy looked like he might have come out all right. He slid on some grass, but the truck didn't roll over him or anything. Thieves always seem to survive these crazy crashes without a scratch, while normal people wearing seatbelts get killed by them.

I also saw that guy a few years ago who blew his head off. That was crazy. It was like the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" incident of its day.
