Shankopotamus Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Speaking of odd deaths. UNCC 49er/NBA draft pick Galen Young Family and friends across the Mid-South are remembering Galen Young, a high school and professional basketball standout who was killed when a car crashed into a home in southwest Memphis. Memphis police say a car crashed into a home on Horn Lake Road early Saturday morning, striking and killing the 45-year-old Young, who was inside.

All one can hope for is that the fall killed him. I can't imagine just waiting to die down there. Reminds me of this story: "14 October 1965: Jeremy Bailey, David Wild and John Wilson Four men were riding a Muskeg tractor and its sledges near the Heimefront Mountains, to the east of their base at Halley Research Station in East Antarctica, close to the Weddell Sea. The Muskeg was a heavy-duty vehicle designed to haul people and supplies over long distances on the ice. A team of dogs ran behind. Three of the men were in the cab. The fourth, John Ross, sat behind on the sledge at the back, close to the huskies. Jeremy (Jerry) Bailey, a scientist measuring the depth of the ice beneath the tractor, was driving. He and David (Dai) Wild, a surveyor, and John Wilson, a doctor, were scanning the ice ahead. Snow obscured much of the small, flat windscreen. The group had been travelling all day, taking turns to warm up in the cab or sit out back on the sledge. Ross was staring out at the vast ice, snow and Stella Group mountains. At about 8:30, the dogs alongside the sledge stopped running. The sledge had ground to a halt. Ross, muffled with a balaclava and two anoraks, had heard nothing. He turned to see that the Muskeg was gone. Ahead, the first sledge was leaning down into the ice. Ross ran up to it to find it had wedged in the top of a large crevasse running directly across their course. The Muskeg itself had fallen about 30m (100ft) into the crevasse. Down below, its tracks were wedged vertically against one ice wall, and the cab had been flattened hard against the other. Ross shouted down. There was no reply from the three men in the cab. After about 20 minutes of shouting, Ross heard a reply. The exchange, as he recorded it from memory soon after the event, was brief: Ross: Dai? Bailey: Dai’s dead. It’s me. Ross: Is that John or Jerry? Bailey: Jerry. Ross: How is John? Bailey: He’s a goner, mate. Ross: What about yourself? Bailey: I’m all smashed up. Ross: Can you move about at all or tie a rope round yourself? Bailey: I’m all smashed up. Ross tried climbing down into the crevasse, but the descent was difficult. Bailey told him not to risk it, but Ross tried anyway. After several attempts, Bailey stopped responding to Ross’s calls. Ross heard a scream from the crevasse. After that, Bailey didn’t respond." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encyclopedia Brown Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 3 hours ago, Tin Cup said: Was part of a great ensemble cast on Homicide: Life On The Street There is a scene from that show I will always remember for how deep it showed Beatty went as an actor. The episode began with a huge drug bust, and some of the younger cops were high-fiving and whooping it up. The camera focuses on a weary Beatty as he calmly explains what is going to happen in the next few weeks: with the supply cut off, the price is going to skyrocket, and people will kill to get the needed money. And then when the supply is depleted, people going through withdrawals will kill out of frustration. The homicide department is going to get swamped with cases. In that scene Beatty looks exhausted, and speaks in matter-of-fact way of an old, tired cop who has seen everything. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nirad3 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 No one you know, but a "bar friend" of mine has apparently passed away. Dennis was an older guy, but seemed to be in good shape and didn't think he was sick. Saw him at our usual watering hole a couple weeks ago and glad I got to say hello (or I guess in this sense, goodbye) and shake his hand. Dennis was from Ireland and his accent got so thick when drinking that half the time I had no idea what he was saying. But I always enjoyed his company and I am sad to hear that he has left this Earth. Godspeed, Dennis. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
