A South Florida man remains hospitalized after steel beams from a passing tractor-trailer fell on him -- one of them impaling him -- while he was waiting for a bus in Fort Lauderdale.

Police said two people were killed -- one person in the front seat and one in the back seat -- when a "metal object" crashed into their van on the southbound Golden State (5) Freeway in the Los Feliz area. NBC4 said the vehicle is a green Pontiac Silouette minivan.

Ponine looks up to the exposed metal beams over her head due to installation of solar panels at work... wonders if she should go home and back to bed.

I saw this on the net today-

Reminds me of the piece of a bridge they were building out here over a freeway that fell and slammed into car, killing the whole family inside.

It's so horrible.

Maybe Chris will tell you about the time a washer fell off of a truck in front of him...............(Hint hint).

I missed being burned by falling sparks from overhead welding today by less than a foot - I only stopped walking because I recognized the sound of welding, looked up and saw sparks and bits of metal falling.

Hmmm - My office is a steal frame structure - maybe I should take some time off work for a bit.

To which I must add this photo a friend sent a while back when talking about a certain person we both knew who was a pain in the ass.
