The thread for Strange News Stories - Page 11

I've heard of a number of accounts of this happening. People take their safety for granted. It happens to pilots as well. They get calloused toward the danger, and you don't get a do over on this mistake.

Haha! Yes, I would be surprised if it doesn't.

When I was in the air force, we'd get quarterly safety newsletters and I swear, there was always at least one person that walked into the props of a C-130.

I can think of better ways to go...

My grandfather saw a guy get eaten by piranhas. He was working on a boat running supplies up and down a river and a mooring line snapped and hit a crew member in the face. It knocked him in the water and he was gone in a matter of minutes. Don't know if he's right, but my grandfather felt he was dead before he hit the water because the line was such a thick rope and the impact was so great he felt his neck was broken (of course I guess it could have been a coping mechanism too)...

Man gets 6 years in bondage sex, burned body case - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee

FTA

Quote:

A truck driver claims his prostitute fiancée suffocated as they celebrated their engagement with a meth and bondage sex party. Then he drove from California to Mississippi with the corpse in the cab of his 18-wheeler and set fire to the truck - with himself and the body inside.

Mark Andrew Rice pleaded guilty to arson and desecrating a corpse and was sentenced Monday to six years in prison for burning the truck and the body of Natasha Carpenter. Two years of the sentence were suspended for time served.

Rice, 49, was a long-haul truck driver when he met Carpenter at a truck stop in Texas. He fell in love after several encounters along his rout and bought her an engagement ring, popping the question Sept. 15, 2009. As part of their celebration in Barstow, Calif., Carpenter agreed to let him bind her arms and legs and put a gag in her mouth as he acted out a fantasy, Rice told police.

When he found her dead, Rice panicked and bought "all the meth his dealer had" and drove to Kiln, Miss., the body in the truck's cab under a tarp, he told police.

I've never tried meth, but if I ever kill a girl during sex I imagine that's probably the right course of action. Don't need them finding the Snow White dress or all the pictures of Sovereignstar laying around.

cartman · 12-13-2011, 08:46 AM

Over 12 hours later, and no one asked if he went to Jared's? I am disappoint.

I don't know where else to put this other than here.

Let's see if anyone can spot the first issue with this video. I'll give you a hint, it's near the beginning.

It looks like the flying camera thing I saw a picture of yesterday.

JediKooter · 12-13-2011, 06:05 PM

Ah yes! Those helicopters are awesome. I wouldn't mind having one of those.

Rizon · 12-13-2011, 06:10 PM

Those helicopters are not hot. They look fake.

JediKooter · 12-13-2011, 06:15 PM

Of course it's fake. Look at how that thing in the middle bulges out.
