1 Woman gets smashed by huge Taco
Bell sign

Diana Durre, of Chambers, Nebraska, died
after a 75-foot (23 m) Taco Bell sign fell on
top of the truck cab she was in. The pole
broke at a welded joint about 15 feet (4.5
m) above the ground owing to strong
winds. The sign fell right on top of the
quad-cab pickup. Diana was meeting a
Wyoming couple to sell them some dogs.
They had agreed to meet in North Platte,
Nebraska, at about 1 p.m., “right
underneath the big Taco Bell sign.” North
Platte's Animal Control Division took two
Yorkie dogs to the shelter. The Wyoming
couple showed up after the accident.


2 Man dies crushed by a suicidal
woman
A suicidal woman who jumped from an
eighth floor window crushed a passer-by to
death in a horrific accident. The woman
hurled herself from the balcony in
Viladecans, near Barcelona, and landed on
top of a 50-year-old pedestrian who was
walking below. The jumper died instantly,
and the man, from the Ukraine, died in
hospital shortly afterwards from his
injuries. His wife, who was walking with
him at the time, escaped with minor
injuries in the incident, which happened at
5.45 on a Monday evening. (Source)

3 A lawyer, demonstrating the safety
of windows in a skyscraper, crashed
through a pane and plunged to his
death
Garry Hoy, a 38-year old lawyer and a
senior partner at the Holden Day Wilson
Law firm in Toronto, Canada, fell to his
death on July 9, 1993, after he threw
himself against a window on the 24th floor
of the Toronto-Dominion Centre, in an
attempt to prove that the glass was
"unbreakable" to a group of visiting law
students. He had apparently attempted this
stunt many times in the past, having
previously bounced harmlessly off the
glass. His first attempt failed to damage the
glass at all. On his second attempt the glass
still didn't break but instead actually
popped out of the window frame, and he
fell over 300 feet to his death.

the contraceptive. A post-mortem

In 2003, an American amusement park
operator was killed when his hair and arm

him up as high as 12 metres before he fell,
back-first, onto a fence. Doug McKay, 40,
was spraying lubricant on the tracks of the
Super Loop 2, a ride at the Island County
Fair on Whidbey Island, northwest of
Seattle, when his long hair got caught on a
car full of fairgoers. It basically scalped
him, then he fell and landed on the fence.

10 Stewardess was sucked out of a
plane after decompression
On Aloha Airlines Flight 243, flight
attendant C.B. Lansing was sucked out of
an airliner when the bulkhead tore off in
mid flight. On April 28, 1988, a Boeing

extensive damage after an explosive
decompression in flight, but was able to
land safely at Kahului Airport, on Maui.

attendant, Clarabelle "C.B." Lansing, who
was standing at seat row 5 collecting drink
cups from passengers. She was sucked
through a hole in the side of the airplane.
Another 65 passengers and crew were
injured. The safe landing of the aircraft
with such a major loss of integrity was
