As I was dinking around on the internet tonight the 11 o’clock news came on. I think the news is too depressing so I don’t normally watch it, but Pat said a 17 year old girl was hit by a train when he was working today and a co-worker of his was first on the scene. It was going to be on the news and I was curious as to what happened. Did she not hear the train? Was it suicide? Etc. So I was stuck watching the first five minutes or so of the news. In addition to the train accident, this is what I got in the first 5 to 7 minutes:
-A church destroyed was destroyed by vandals.
-An elderly couple was robbed and attacked in their home (woman bedridden, man recently recovered from a heart attack)
– A family grieving the loss of a loved one makes plans for funeral while house burns down.
-Four girls from local swim team nearly drown.
Mmmmm….thank you King 5…sweet dreams.
ps turns out the girl was talking on her cell phone and was carrying an umbrella that blocked her view of the train. :(
