     Court |
First off, so I don't get blasted, I HAVE NO FACTS, don't presume to. Last night, a few minutes after 10:00PM, a guy on what APPEARED to be a foreign sportbike who PRESUMABLY was at a high rate of speed smashed (that is a fact) into the back of a car on the Williamsburgh Bridge over the East River (those are facts, too) He is jetisoned from the bike, smacks the rear window and is launched, ala Evel Kneviel, off the rear window, now effectively a ramp, high into the air (the high part is not a fact, just a reporters guess) and takes the several hundred feet semi-cliff dive into the East River (that is a fact) where his body was recovered (a fact) a couple hours later. The streets are mean. | ||

Okay. . . I guess there are a couple facts. One other one is that the guy leaves behind a wife and 11 kids! | ||

Ouch. Thats a heckuva way to go. | ||

that sucks. feel bad for the family. 11 kids is the worst part of the story.  i wish them the very best in a sad situation like that. TRY AND RIDE SAFE! THINGS HAPPEN FAST WHEN YOU ARE GOING FAST! | ||

Man, that sucks all around. I wonder how long he'd been riding and what caused the accident. | ||

And I thought my 4 were a handful!!!!! I can see that happening though, the rear window if not broken would make a perfect ramp. I'd say he died hitting the back of the car....I wasn't there either but just a guess. | ||

5 kids, not 11 as originally posted. | ||

5 of his own, 6 step children living with him. Should have been a "wife and 11 kids at home in St. Albans Queens". Terrible loss anyway you cut it. |
