pfffft. those fools. clearly the cloverfield monster has arrived.

You've said that in oh so many threads. The one about some spiders and some fossils being found of giant rats. Am I the only one noticing this?

It's amazing that a Yankees game saved one guys life. I can't imagine what it must be like to have that happen. It reminds me of that 9/11 story where someone was late for work.

Spider-Man only saved Gwen Stacy...
Sad news though

Oh wow. That's pretty screwed up.

Wow that's the first thing I thought about when I heard this earlier. Sadly it wasn't as controllable. And what really sucks is that the company violated a lot of terms. Not only did they fail to keep up with standard safety codes, but they're not even supposed to be working on weekends. It's really sad that a few people had to die in an accident that could've clearly been prevented.

That actually happened at Yankee Stadium a few years ago. A chunk of the upper deck collapsed onto the seats below. The game had been rained out that night, so no one was there.

I remember the front page of one of the NY papers had a picture of all 4 of the ticket holders (holding up their tickets) that were supposed to be in the seats that the worst of the debris landed on.

It reminds me of the glass windows that would fall off the hancock building in boston.

[spideyboy_1111]

biggest plot whole in the damn movie... lol he saved gwen while pieces of buildings were falling on people... and im sure alot of people died.. he drops gwen off.. chats for a lil bit.. and swings off... not stopping it

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

there were many things wrong with that movie

 

[spideyboy_1111]

there were many things wrong with that movie

definitely... worse then X3 imo... i actually enjoyed X3... but sandman and venom and emo parker just hurt my brain and soul . at least Kirsten rocked for once and harry and gwen were cool

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

HOW do you just kill Cyclops and no one cares?
WHY does Wolverine cry so damn much?
WHY didn't Magneto drop the bridge ON the lab?
