Not For the Faint of Heart

The pedestrian in this unbelievable traffic-video footage actually survives getting hit by a car (a car which careens into him after being hit by another). The drivers of the two cars escaped with "minor injuries." (The fact that their injuries are so described as "minor" would seem to be a pretty good tip-off that the pedestrian's weren't.)

I always feel weird about links like this. I hate being exploitative, but this is the sort of thing I'd email to a friend (particularly since the pedestrian did survive). So, if I'd email it to a friend, I guess there's no strong reason to refrain from posting it on the blog.

Anyway, the Chicago Boyz have the footage and the Snopes.com article describing the collision, and how the man survived this calamity.

Bear in mind that while this guy lives, the collision is pretty hair-raising.

Thanks to RDBrewer.

Wow, a home-town story! (I live near Dayton, Ohio). Funny I hadn't seen this before...

He saw it coming too. Wonder what was going through his mind besides that car's bumper?

Posted by: Dick on July 15, 2004 09:26 AM

I believe it was divine intervention because if it were not for the collision , the pedestrian would have been struck by the SUV directly. Do a pause as the SUV enters the intersection and you can see that the pedestrian would not had made it across the street before the SUV would have reached him and would have probably struck and killed him.

I take back my comment. Looks like the SUV would have been on the inside lane and was not on the path to strike the pedestrian.

Blogger Alert


special offer


My fellow blogger’s I would appreciate your candid response back to something that I am not sure you have been offered before to help promote the blogger forte/agenda/image. However, before I tell you what I have in mind, I would like to give my own definition of what a Blogger is.


An open minded individual with an insatiable, wanting to learn, appetite, who relishes in reading about new ideas, etc. that might (will) stimulate his/her creative mind (stimulus euphoric) juices of intellectual curiosity or simply, a new variety news junky. If you have your own definition of what a blogger is, I would like to read what it is.


What is my promotional idea? Simply, would you blogger devotees be interested in having a car window sticker or tee-shirts made with the following inscription on the front of tee-shirt? I am a blog-a-holic or I’m a proud blog-a-holic. Plus, under the expression as an option (in smaller letters) we can put, A-new variety news junky. On the back of tee-shirt could be your blog web site address or on the front. Those of you who have popular blog web site, this idea might even help draw more people to your web page. For further details on this new promotional idea, please look up my web page at, www.iamtired.org


Sincerely,


Mr. Robert Schell, President

Schell Enterprises, Inc.

P. S. By the way, all profits made from the above promotional idea will go towards a number of worthwhile projects you can read about on my web page.

To those who may be interested


What does “ Political Rhetoric Boloneyism” stand for?

or

“ Political (presidential) Boloneyism”


My answer is, it is the art of political confusion, fictionalized hyperbole, negative propaganda, double-talk, malarkey, hogwash, absurdity, twaddle and hot air. That is, political offerings of solution to important issues that will not become a reality (unrealistic expectations) if elected to political office or just to get our (my) vote. Last, but not least, in my opinion, this is why so many of America’s registered voters decide not to vote for either major political party.


I, on the other hand, will give the reader specifics and details on what I can do in solving a number of important national issues that most American citizens would like workable answers and solutions to. A nice change, for a change, don‘t you think? You can read about my solutions to four, up-to-date, important issues on the minds of most Americans, on my web page at, www.iamtired.org .Lastly, have you ever read or heard of the P. R. B. phrase before?

P. S. A brief synopsis of what you can read about on my web page. How I can secure our Mexican border area cheaper and better in the long run, than what is being done today? How I can cut back the need for foreign oil to meet our future energy needs? How I can permanently fund Social Security? How I can logically create millions of jobs, plus where and of what kind? How I can lower the deficit into non existence? How I can logically catch more criminals and terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq? Lastly, my workable exit strategy for Iraq. I will debate you or anyone on my above solution, period.


My Opinion Letter


I guess, the days we live in, it pays big bucks to tarnish/smear (Michael Moore-Fahrenheit 9/11) the image of America around the World. Mr. Moore uses the freedoms we all have as Americans to help spread his anti-American propaganda of half truths, distortion of the facts, and hateful self-interest venom to try and undermine the positive things our great country has done for so many other peoples and nations of the world, under the disguise as a documentary. If that is the type of person and propaganda America’s citizenry want to listen to and support with their money, then in my opinion, America will in no time, decline as a world leader. Yes, Mr. Moore has all the right as an American citizen, to speak out on what is not right in America and offer his corrective solutions under the right format. Unfortunately, Mr. Moore, has only the ability/talent to tell us what he thinks is wrong in America in negative destructive hateful anti-American ways and not offering any positive and workable solution to fix what he says is wrong in America.


[I, on the other hand, have tried to offer some positive solutions to the American people, that if heard, would reveal to those around the world, America is still the number one country of freedom, opportunity to live in. That is the other side of the coin, that you, the news media outlets, are unwilling to bring to light, thus

I sure wish I could delete that Robert Schell "comment."

Mr. Schell, please don't use my comments for such blatant self-promotion and advertisement. A quick link is one thing. Blathering on for 5000 words is something else entirely.

Hi Robert:

I didn't mind receiving your email at all, but I'm wondering why you would send it to bloggers in Australia and Canada? Blog on!

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
