Something a little different... :)
http://www.local6.com/news/13651220/detail.html
MEADVILLE, Pa. -- A wrecking ball wreaked havoc on a small college town in northwest Pennsylvania on Monday.
The 1,500-pound, 3-foot-wide ball broke loose from a crane cable and rolled nearly a mile downhill.
It smashed more than a dozen vehicles and injured three people as it bounced from curb to curb. The ball slammed into the back of a car stopped at an intersection. The force caused a chain reaction with two other cars at the traffic light. The driver, an Allegheny College junior, said he thought a car had hit him when his back windshield exploded. The ball came to rest in the trunk of a car and pushed it nearly 20 feet. Workers had been using the wrecking ball to demolish part of a library at Allegheny College when the cable snapped.
Heh OOPS

How many senseless tragedies like this have to occur before we wake up and ban wrecking balls?

I saw that on Fox News this morning. Lol
"We're not trying to ban these "assault type" wrecking balls from law abiding citizens. We just want to register their ownership so we can keep them out of the hands of criminals. We do it for cars."

I was just thinking about that pepsi commercial where the kid is riding the pepsi logo and it's rolling around all over the place in some urban place...
