Woman dies after she falls off escalator inside World Trade Center Oculus while reaching to grab hat

Does anyone still wear a hat?

Trump should start wearing hats.

It's a bird! It's a plane!

...Oh. Well, at least it wasn't a plane.

Did someone say Oculus?

Not to be outdone, a Wall Street hotshot's wife threw herself out the window of her East End Avenue high-rise yesterday.

I think she's tremendous!

Now, we know which one is the evil twin.

Her family will sue the city, right?

R8 they'll probably sue the hat maker.

Just thinning the herd, nothing to see here.

"Famed World Trade Center Oculus"? Never heard of it.

Well that's a guilt trip for life.

Candidate for a Darwin Award

I'm picturing this as the end of the opening of the Mary Tyler Moore show.

The twin sister will always regret wearing a hat that day.

Was it windy? How do you drop a hat off the side of an escalator? It should fall straight down on the steps.

She was pulling a Mary Tyler Moore thing with the hat trick. But now they've changed the lyrics of the song - You're not going to make it after all. MEOW!

R11 MTE.

New Yorker delusions.

One less fish = always good.

Unfortunately the elevator company will probably get sued for zillion$$$

I love how the article mentions the birth of a baby in that place in the last sentence . That's the reason she had to die , one birth has to be balanced with one death .

[quote]I'm picturing this as the end of the opening of the Mary Tyler Moore show.

Who can turn the world on with her....

SPLAT!

The famed articchet who designed the building is screwed. He designed a killer escalator that trades safety for aesthetics.

How is it an oculus? An oculus is a hole in a roof

Did she at least catch her hat? I'd be so mad!

R20, you evil, evil bitch.

R20, I just burst out laughing! You and I are probably going to Hell, bwaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Omg RIP. And I thought this kind of accidents only happens in third world countries.

Only Her Majesty still wears hats every day. J'accuse!

Didn't you hear the Jaws theme playing when you looked at those escalator photos?

I wonder what kind of hat she died trying to grab.

Not trying to grab - she DID grab the hat and then she clutched her sister's hat in her hot little hand right up to the second her head spattered all over that floor!

This is why I stay away from escalators.

Guess she doesn't need a hat now.

R32

I need details on what kind of hat she went head over escalator to plummet to her death.

I bet her twin feels like shit. But, at least her parents have a spare.

Obviously a safety problem there which they should have considered especially with crowds visiting.

I figured her for a Florida or Wisconsin resident, but New jersey would be in the top 10.

34 feet doesn't seem that far away. If you have a Grindr guy 34 feet away that's soooo close.

I'm betting it was a Lilly Dache.

I hope that sister really appreciates that hat for the rest of her life now.

life really is fragile

rip

poor twin

Like it would've killed her to take the stairs?

Lazy!

It certainly is not cold enough to wear a hat today in New York, therefore she was wearing a hat purely for douchey reasons, similar to the douchey men in California who have those man buns.

This hat was not needed and there was no reason for the late twin to go ass over elbow in a successful albeit fatal attempt to grab the offensive hat.

I haven't seen the inside of the inside of the building yet, and now that I have it looks like the architect was inspired by the contemporary resort in walt Disney world.

I hope the hat was ok! Jeepers. Clearly nothing worse than losing your hat.

That's bad enough, but the escalator death scene in that Final Destination movie looked more terrifying.

I've been on there and it's no different than any huge escalator anywhere. You can die if you jump off any elevated surface onto a hard surface. This is tragic, but an accident.

She was like Gollum plummeting into the bowels of Mt Doom after he got his cock ring back.

Her Maj is not the only one wearing hats but at least the killer hat wasn't one of mine. Mine are desperately needed as emergency shelters for the homeless.

Cheers, homos.

r43 you sound like the most hateful, bitter, spiteful being on this planet. R.I.P., twin.

R50 it was a joke.

What was she doing there at 5:30 am - drunk?

How do you ever manage to type with that enormous 50-foot telephone pole shoved up your ass, r50?

Chapeau...shit!

I think drunk is a given.

She started with a ten foot telephone pole and painstakingly (emphasis on pain) worked her way up. She was ambitious, R53, she had grit and determination unlike you who is probably a no-telephone-pole-at-all lazy lout.

R43, I saw Man Buns in Manhattan well before I saw them in CA. You all started the madness.

R57, Brooklyn IS California.

"My sister died in the World Trade Center."

"Wow, how horrible. 9/11?"

"No."

R59 wins!

Man buns are so de rigueur.

Yep, r59 for the win.

R5 is a damned tragedy

It looks like the whole place is indoors. Where did a gust of wind come from?

These comments are escalating out of control. Let's all put on our good manners hats..oh wait.

Is there any doubt that the woman @R5 killed herself because her husband was probably fucking around?

R40 hopefully she was considerate and didn't bleed /brained all over the hat .

She's the third person to jump from that building.

At least this story about what occurred inside takes away from the fact that from the outside, it looks like a giant gynecological exam.

Where were they going at 5:30 in the morning?

Seriously? Is there like a Rosemary's baby situation going on in there?

I don't know, I think r3 is an underrated gem in this thread

R40 she was on her way to return it.

Camilla @r49 looks like the guest of honor @ the Alice in Wonderland tea party.

Hats Off To The Hero !

Firstly, what's a world trade center Oculus?

Secondly, the article said it's the first death since it opened in March, as if they were expecting more since they're starting a tally. This seems to indicate these are very dangerous escalators. Maybe they need to put in some protective glass.

And I just Fabuloso'ed the damn thing.

Here it is:

London Eye. WTC Oculus.

Sorry dumb question. Why didn't she just let the hat fall, and then take the down escalator to the ground floor and retreive it from where it landed?

The WTC Oculus concourse is an insatiable bottom!

OCULUS... The Mirror That [italic]Kills!

OCULUS![/italic]

r38 doesn't know the difference between horizontal and vertical.

r66, That's one motive. I was thinking maybe a cancer diagnosis or financial problems.

I'm evil, but something about 'hat still in hand' in describing her plunge made me laugh out loud

R80 It's an excellent question. We should ask her.

Well, r78, it's about time, considering it's a city otherwise ruled by phallic symbols.

Why is this place open at 5:30 in the morning?

We will have to add this story to the old DL thread, "Gay Elevators of Death".

R87, trains. It's a transportation hub.

Ok I didn't realize the entire inside was open 24 hours. Thought maybe the mall portion with the escalators closed during off hours.

r66 r68 , r5 really needs its own thread. from the article "The building is a half block from Carl Schurz Park and about two blocks from Gracie Mansion, officials said. Bissoondath said this was the third person to jump from the building in recent years.“It’s insane,” he said. " The third person to jump in recent years? are they counting carter cooper? What is wrong with building?

That place creeps me the fuck out. All that marble and glass gives me vertigo.

Sounds like a has leak that us driving people mad and making them comm it suicide.

Super creepy!

Any word on the condition of the hat?

[R94] - It was velvet....

And now it's her GRAAAAVE!

I have terrible vertigo and don't use escalators. This story scares me.

Was it a raspberry beret?

Reminds of the kid who climbed over a fucking fence to get his hat under roller coaster tracks. The hat was doing just dandy in the end....

r78, that looks like an upside down taint.

Have you ever seen a body after it hits the ground from a significant height? It is not pretty. I recently saw an online image of a man who had jumped from the WTC on 9/11. "Smeared jello" would just about sum it up. He hit the ground so hard that the lower half of his body literally exploded. It ripped the pants right off him. He was wearing such sexy baby blue undies, too.

[Quote]Omg RIP. And I thought this kind of accidents only happens in third world countries.

And in second world Trade Centers.

3.8 billion (publicly admitted to, who knows how much) for that piece of shit.

[quote]I wonder what kind of hat she died trying to grab.

It was to die for!

[quote]It ripped the pants right off him. He was wearing such sexy baby blue undies, too.

Was he hot? Or an old man? How big was the dick?

r101, I'd like to see the photo, can you direct me to it?

Yeah, like we already don't have enough dick pics floating around DL.

Would someone please make a thread about R5? I would, but no one ever replies to my threads, and magically, someone else creates the same one and gets 500+ replies.

Nobody cares about me?

R95 Was it BLUE velvet?

What about the sky that day?

R109......

Since I Fell For You

How many stores is 34 feet?

Santiago Calatrava = douchebag with a computer.

.

R80, it's NOT a stupid question. THe way this woman died is STUPID.

The entire remonstration of World Trade has been a rat fuck. With the exception of the memorial fountains, which are sober. I think they will be a bit overblown in 20 years though.

remonstration. I invented a word. remenstruation, maybe.

I don't understand what you are trying to vocabulate, R119/R120.

reconstruction darling. though that reconstruction has PUSSY written all over it. Bin Laden is laughing in his grave.

Amazing that the 9/11 attacks claimed another victim 15 years later. If that never happened, this escalator and building would never have been built and she would never have died. The butterfly effect.

totally unnecessary building at that scale and cost. Its a shed, not even a building

This has got to be one of my all-time favorite threads. That poor woman. I felt horrible when I first heard it. Now I can't stop laughing!! Fuck!!!!!!

"One of the Twins fell."

Never Forget.

I thought the same thing, R126

"I believe I can fly.....

It's raining Jen!

Hallelujah it's raining Jen!

AMEN!

It's raining Jen!

Catch me I'm falling!

Catch me now I'm faaalling!

Can't remember who sings that song, but it's old.

So that escalator is now going to be a morbid tourist attraction?

And I'm free, free fallin' Yeah I'm free, free fallin'....

Now they'll allocate a few million to erect one of those "__ Days Without a Death at the World Trade Center."

As we type, a new sign is being prepared for the elevator entrance:

"For your own safety, all hats must be removed."

34 feet is about 3 stories.

The surviving twin was so blue that day.

They can put it right next to the "No Bombs or Weapons Beyond This Point" sign.

" In The Event Of An Unexpected Emergency, All Employees Are Required To Be Equipped With A Parachute At All Times "

W&W R14 ! I am choking with laughter! OMG!

I feel very sorry for her. I would never want to die in such a horrifcally tacky looking place

Oh, the humanity

Told ya I was hardcore!

What color was the sky that day?

I know how this turns out... the second twin will fall soon too!

R144 You are truly evil. And I respect you for that.

THE CALL CAME FROM INSIDE THE HAT!

r1 is a diva hero!!!!!!!! I love you!!!

From the "2017 Predictions" thread. The seer had an exaggerated vision, but saw the escalator, the subway/transportation hub, the white marble floor, the "hooded" coat, and death. Another poster guessed the correct place.

"I feel like some guys with guns shoot up a public place like a mall, someplace with escalators. Or maybe a subway, airport. Someplace with a lot of people in an open public space. Indoors. Where the people can't get out quickly.

This could be terrorist, but it could also be people sent by Russia or others with the idea of getting Trump to go off the deep end. They want Trump to clamp down, new draconian laws or martial law or curfew. It's a way to take civil rights away from people and destabilize the U.S. At least that's how Trump takes it, his reaction is very overblown. —R469

reply 472 02/01/2017

What I see is white tile floors and people wearing hooded overcoats, like they're just passing through. Not like a concert hall where you take your coat off and sit down. —R469

Maybe the mind's association with and memory of the site and 9/11 added the "terrorist" elements to the vision.

My cousins fiancé was at a party at the Fulton Street Market and drunkenly fell off the escalator at the third floor level….horrid

Stop trying to make 'Oculus' happen!

I live in Manhattan and have never heard of the Oculus. WTF?

Hat shmat. That twin was murdered by the Oculus PR team trying for some free publicity.

When the Math Professor teaching 'CALCULUS' is rimming and fisting an "OCTOPUS'- what do you thing they should name the child?

Think*

What I really want to know is what the victim's living twin did with the hat once she got it back.

the one who threw it was a MARY, the other one - a Rhoda!

Don't feel guilty, R84. I laughed at that line too. I think everyone did. At least Jenny managed to catch the thing, and gave all of us something to laugh about on a Sunday morning. Thanks, Jenny!

Jenny: I want it, I want it, I want it..

Gravity: You caaaaaannntt have it!

It's like drivers who, when they are 100 feet away from their highway exit but weren't paying attention, cut across two lanes at 70 mph to make the exit instead of just going to the next exit and turning around.

It's not like there was a moat filled with alligators below the escalator... you could've just gone back down to collect the hat from the floor!

His buildings remind me of Expo designs from the 60s. How the fuck did the taxpayer get fleeced for this shit.

The hat is obviously possessed by a demon. There is nothing anyone can do now for this poor woman, but I worry about the hat's next victim.

Whatever you do, just stay focused on the hat.

I really want to see this hat. Maybe the twin was worried someone would steal the hat if she just let it fall. Even at 5:30 in the am.

By any chance was there a boy on a tricycle on the escalator?

NEXT

Hat's off to Jenny!

R144 Owns this thread.

Who will be the next to wear ... the hat?

"Santos, of Kearny, N.J., managed to snag the wayward hat in midair before tumbling to her death over the escalator railing inside the towering lower Manhattan structure."

Must admit there is something inherently comic about that news source sentence.

[quote]Santos, of Kearny, N.J., managed to snag the wayward hat in midair

The hat's reaction: "Ravenclaw!"

The Russian judge gave her a 9.5.

[R172] - I could NOT believe he gave her a 9.5.

Did the Daily News really need to let us know that she kept clutching the hat as she plummeted all the way down, before busting open like a goddamn Mexican piñata?

I thought that was in rather poor taste.

But she remembered the routine all the way down, R173.

I too would like to see this hat and I have every confidencee in the Daily Fail's commitment to showing to us as soon as possible.

Only if they can wrest it from my cold dead hands.

Will they bury her with the hat she was so attached to?

I love R167

"Sorry, Jenny's family, but the Darwin award is spoken for. There's an evil orange in the Oval Office who wins this hand's down! "

I laughed out loud to r134!

She did not bust open or splatter. She was taken to the hostipal where she died later.

According to the Daily News article, she fell "40 feet from an upper level to the sparkling Italian marble floor." I'm thinking that the marble floor isn't quite so sparkling now.

What, american stone is chopped livah?

Will a memorial be erected in the hat twin's honor?

Where will this memorial be located?

Will spaces be left open for future members?

I hope someone reads the story to Orangina so he become s"triggered." He's scared of stairs/escalators

I heart R171

There must be security cam footage of this, or at the very least stop action stills, that could be released.

I think this makes Grabbiness the Eighth Deadly Sin.

5:30 am in a subway, ? Please she was a drunk mess...Very sad.

R190- looks like you plagiarized a Trump tweet! :)

"Or somebody'll say, 'Lisa, what a nice hat you have that was just smashed to bits under the escalator.' I'll say, 'Thank you very much, but my name is Liza, and that's my head!'"

Will the surviving twin quit drinking or just quit wearing hats?

[quote]It's not like there was a moat filled with alligators below the escalator... you could've just gone back down to collect the hat from the floor!

Oh, for fuck's sake, she was likely drunk and obviously did not expect to fall or imagine that she was doing anything dangerous.

[quote]She did not bust open or splatter. She was taken to the hostipal where she died later.

The latter does not preclude the former, r182.

[quote]"I feel like some guys with guns shoot up a public place like a mall, someplace with escalators. Or maybe a subway, airport. Someplace with a lot of people in an open public space. Indoors.

Wow, r148, how chilling. That "vision" is almost exactly the same as "drunk chick falls off an escalator."

[quote]And I thought this kind of accidents only happens in third world countries.

WTF?

Well the hat certainly finished her.

[quote]I need details on what kind of hat she went head over escalator to plummet to her death.

She almost had it. It was a cloche call.

What a stupid cunt.

died for a lousy hat. often hear things like that. for example, fools dropped their phones on subway track and was killed while trying to get them.

How do you know that the hat was lousy, r200? It hasn't been seen by the public.

That really is the million dollar question here. What does this hat look like? Why is there a cover up surrounding the nature of the the hat?

I heart r198

This thread is DL at its best

At least there's a spare.

The World Trade Center Oculus is an insatiable bottom.

You bitches! It was a hat from the Ivanka Trump line. You'd have jumped for it, too!

Those Ivanka hats are to DIE for!

The inside of the Oculus feels so cold and empty, a nice statue in Jenny's honor would spruce the place up. Perhaps modeled after the MTM statue in Minneapolis, but turned upside down?

The hat may have been a made-in-China Make America Great Again exclusive...

With an identical right side up one above it to represent her alive twin who is still "right by her side?"

Jokes aside, how insane is it that the first death since 9/11 was a T W I N ???

I know right? r211. Now there is only one twin left. Symbolic of the one tower in place of the two. When the living twin dies this tower will fall!

I giggled at, and W&Wd, far too many of these posts. I'm going to hell with the rest of you sick fucks.

[quote]Jokes aside, how insane is it that the first death since 9/11 was a T W I N ???

Only if you overlook the tens of thousands of deaths since 9/11 from exposure to toxic particles in the atmosphere that Christie Todd Whitman and the EPA declared safe to breathe.

Lock me up before I kill again!

"Oculus" sounds like a villain in one of those shitty Marvel movies.

R214= Buzz Kill who feels compeled to transmit his vapid thoughts.

[quote]I could NOT believe [the Russian judge] gave her a 9.5. —Sloppiest dismount EVER!

Yeah, but you gotta admit, she really stuck the landing.

Re. R176, rest assured 'The Mail' will source The Hat, then promote it by showing how readers can grab this Spring's must-have accessory. They'll be flying off the shelves.

The hat is off the hook. Released after analysis of security tapes.

From article above

' The source said the hat was still somehow involved but could not elaborate.'

Free The Hat.

So where did the trying to grab a hat story come from?

I'll tumble for ya? You are sick.

Thread got ridiculous, yo.

Best gore has all of the shots. Hard to browse there.

The superhero thing is almost better than the hat story.

"I believe I can flyyyy....I believe I can touch the skyyy"

You would be wrong.

r196, I pointed out both the similarities and the differences, and the possible reasons for the differences. Seers don't look at a movie, you know.

R220 Justice for Hat, it was wrongfully convicted ! Call Dateline or 48 Hours .

It was a pussy hat from the Women's March. This is a cover-up.

Poor, innocent hat. Convicted by the media and a court of public opinion!

[quote]I pointed out both the similarities and the differences

There were NO significant similarities. Somebody "sees" guys with guns, probably terrorists, shooting up a "public place with escalators ... maybe a subway" in order that Trump can use the incident to declare martial law. You read a story about a drunk chick falling off an escalator in a subway station and think, "ooh, eerie, it's kinda like what that DLer predicted"? For your sake, I hope you are trolling; otherwise, you are a dimwit.

It must have been a black hat.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you see before you what looks to be nothing other than an eye-catching, colorful, chic and blameless hat. Slightly crumpled, to be sure, but above all displaying signs of nothing other than innocence. You can be forgiven for assuming so.

My case to you however is that this hat - this very hat you now contemplate, which has brought us together today - is nothing less than an accessory to crime. A Hat Crime.

R212 is the most obvious person in Christendom.

Lmfao R233.

No, r231, not trolling. I think maybe the past, present, and future got all mixed up in the vision, just as in dreams, and it conflated the past terrorist attack on the WTC with the then-future death of this young woman in the new WTC. That specific details (no guns in either time) are what you are latching onto shows that you will scoff at that entire thread.

As for martial law, in this same week we got "shall not be questioned."

Of course, for either of us, we see what we want to see and take of it what we will.

I like the use of the adjectives 'sparkling Italian.'

As opposed to moody Swedish?

Chic French?

Was it a 'warm hat?'

Italy is famous for its white marble, R237.

At least she didn't land on someone.

Logan: What a waste, Lennie. I’da dated that chick.

Briscoe: Lucky you, Mike; you can offer her twin condolences AND a movie.

Curtis: I don’t get it, Lennie. What’s a respectable young woman doing here at 5:30 in the morning?

Briscoe: Not too much anymore, Rey.

Green: Man! What are the odds of dying from that height?

Briscoe: With or without a hat?

FREE THE HAT!

Maybe the hat is the real hero here. Maybe the hat flew off the sister's head in order to break the fall of wannabe Super Girl and was mistakenly identified as the perpetrator. Maybe the hat is the real victim in this sad story.

What was on her ipod?

Anywhere I hang my hat is home

I believe I can fly

This death is not as interesting as the pretty boy Communale/Sutton Place death or even the Rockaway Beach woman jogger whose mother got up and said, "You worthless piece of filth."

Safety Dance by Men Without Hats, r243.

In an earlier article, it stated that the surviving twin had "playfully" tossed the hat to her sister. I imagine that the sister, who was planking on the rail and pretending to be a superhero, reached out to grab the hat that had been tossed to her and proceeded to reconstruct the scene in which baby Kal-El's space ship slams into Earth.

Je suis le chapeau!

J'accuse!

That's why I believe in bringing back hatpins.

Can you imagine if they were Siamese Twins ?

Were they identical or just lowly fraternal?

Google Superfecundation- and Gays thought they were sluts??

You know how twins often say they "share a brain?"

In this case I'm afraid it's true.

The report on Inside Edition said she was clowning around on the escalator, lying on the handrail pretending she was flying. No mention of a hat...

Thank God this didn't happen at Trump Tower.

Does the White House have an Oculus?

Too bad it wasn't this hat and this woman

That was Conway's Inauguration outfit. She looks like a majorette in a marching band. Obviously Ivanka must hate her to not pull her aside and give her some fashion advice.

No, r256; it has an Incubus.

How I love you all!

I know Italy is famous for its marble.

Why was that an important detail to the story?

Sparkling I understand.

I can't believe no one whipped out their cell phone and took a picture.

From 0 to splat in two seconds flat.

Thoroughly Modern Millinery.

R260, agree!, and especially R253, hee-hee.

[quote]I can't believe no one whipped out their cell phone and took a picture.

I think it happened about 5:30 am. There wasn't anyone (sober) there that could do it.

Her blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit.

I don't know where my hat is

But I know where the floor is

Being that it's a family that has a Go Fund Me Page for the funeral they should sue the World Trade Center for not having proper safety precautions for early morning drunks.

Not to mention so many marble tiles.

Threads like this get me through some tough time s

I wouldn't want her playing on my team.

She's no me

I'm not buying the whole "superhero" story. I still think it went down something like this:

Is that from Desperate Housewives?

"Look I dropped my hat/And my sister just went splat."

r281, that's from the movie "Showgirls" (1995).

Oh, I thought that was Marcia Cross.

Whoa r283, someone here didn't get a Showgirls reference?

I want to fly like an eagle....

Amateur!

Even at 40 I could manage it.

Cue the Six Feet Under theme song.

Is she still dead?

The sky was so blue that day the later reached for her hat on the escalator.

I hear the WTC has one of those new Let's Roll Cinnamon roll places - I hear they are to die for....

Not to say it was drug related, but the hat was a pill box.

Miss Ross pushed her.

Well, she'll never remember her last trip to Manhattan!

I bet if you watch the surveillance tape you can see Diana Ross pushing her off.

'It's too bad she didn't have Dex Dexter to land on.

Good god, NO! I hope the hat was ok.

Oculus? Do you suppose it has anything to do with the little-known Secret Society, the Oculists?

You just know that someone breathlessly ran up to her obliterated body to ask "Are you OK?"

I never really got to know Genny from Billing, I know she liked flowers.

The ugly one always has to do all the work..

This thread from a year ago was bumped — why?

Really, R300? You bumped this old thread just to say that?

Bump!

Another incident like this happened last year I think.

Why the bump? She’s still dead, right?

Kudos for the bump. Just speed-read it all again, and it makes 'His Girl Friday' seem like a silent movie. Rat-a-tat noir wit.

That said, RIP hat lady. In a way you're still with us.

There probably are bits of her still around the edges of the marble floor.

The Wall Street wife in R5 was the 3rd person to jump from that building. Will this woman set a trend for twins having fatal escalator rides at WTC.

It's just the village idiot bumping old threads again, r321. You can get some semblance of a normal timeline back by ignoring his old bumped threads.

Oh my stars. That poor hat.

RIP poor hat.

This really is one of the greatest DL threads of all time.

I know, I have never grieved more for a hat. :(

OMFG that poor hat!

What--no one from DL has found and posted the video of the death???

DL is slipping these days.....

[quote]I never really got to know Genny from Billing

Ginny, not Genny.

Ginny.

Ginny, Ginny, Ginny.

[quote]Ginny, Ginny, Ginny.

Without so much Ginny the hat lady might very well still be with us.

I'm glad someone bumped the thread. I cried, I laughed, I cried laughing. You sick fucks.

Why is this thread bumped so frequently? It's entering Red Dragon Cheese/My Neighbor is a Gargoyle status.

Why are you a diseased twat? Same question, Ms Cuntberger.

I knew a lady that almost got run over while throwing her hat.

Wait. You have a neighbor who is a gargoyle?!

R331 "the victim was identified as Jenny ..."

Jenny + Ginny = Genny

Yeah, r338. No.

LOL.

Video or it didn't happen

I've heard of finishing the hat, but in this case the hat finished her.

I'll be wearing ribbons down my back this Summer.

British people on vacation still hold the record for falling off balconies. It seems there's another one every few months, at least according to the Daily Mail.

If The Daily Mail had broken the hat lady story it would have depicted the hat, described it in detail, and mentioned from where it was obtainable, so that readers could 'get the look.'

This is such a funny thread

This report tells a DIFFERENT story. Lost hat, my ass!

The drunk sisters were returning home at 5:30 am after a night out clubbing ... one lay on the upward moving handrail with her arms outstretched, as if she were flying ... and then, suddenly, she [italic]was.

PS: In some awful way, I find it funny that she was a Phys Ed teacher.

From R347's video, some important instructions on safe escalator use:

[quote]It's a transportation device. Hold the handrail, stay in the center of the step, if possible, and step off when you come to the end.

As a transportation device important personal articles may be held on the handrail. If one falls off to avoid any damage immediately bend over railing, stretch out and firmly catch it.

I bet the sister is still mourning the hat. I would never get over it if I lost my hat that way.

I still feel for that poor hat. I hope it survived the fall.

This occurred at 5:30 am!

Janet Jackson’s super bowl r126.

I hope that chapeau was very expensive.

Obituary notice: John Peach, truckman, "drowned near South Bridge, Salem, MA, by falling through the ice while in pursuit of a hat," Jan. 29, 1830.

Hats can be lethal.

This was The Good Old Days, before everything went insane.

Why in the world would you resurrect this stupid threaf?

And now, R349, you can't even hold the handrail in case you get Covid-19.

Oh the humanity.

So glad you bumped an old thread to add your witty bon mot, R359.

I was there!! Tragic event and rather gruesome. I got the hat though, it’s rather lovely. I can see why she jumped.

[quote]What was on her ipod?

Her brains, R243.
