A model and actor who caught fire after climbing atop a Manhattan-bound Metro North train has died from his injuries, his agent told The Post on Monday.
Video taken at the Stamford rail station shows an apparently intoxicated McClellen climbing on top of the New Haven line train shortly before 5:10 a.m. Sunday in Riverside, Conn., a source said.Investigators believe the victim, who lived near Union Square, was burned after coming in contact with the train’s pantograph, a metal arm that collects power from the 12,500 volts in overheard wires.Workers found McClellen after going to investigate why power was cut to the train.The crew used an extinguisher to put out the smoking man atop the sixth car.McClellen was hospitalized with electrical burns, some third-degree, on more than 90 percent of his body.
In a post last year, he wrote: “I know I’m going to change the world. its only a matter of time.”
That other article about selfie deaths in Russia is pretty funny. 100 deaths so far this year from extreme selfies. That's hilarious.
It's rare that candidates are good enough to capture their entries on video, but thankfully this young man from Georgia was good enough to do just that.http://mashable.com/2016/03/25/lawn-mower-explosives/?utm_cid=mash-com-Tw-main-link#EqNWSsyIBGqC
Guns are for our protection!
An Australian woman who set out to climb Mount Everest to prove that “vegans can do anything” died Saturday after developing altitude sickness. Maria Strydom, 34, had reached the final camp from the summit before she and her husband, Robert Gropel, both began suffering from high-altitude pulmonary edema, which caused fluid to build up in Strydom’s brain, the Washington Post reports. Her husband survived and was taken to a Nepal hospital for treatment, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “Physically he’s OK, we think,” Heinz Gropel, Robert’s father, told the Australian. “Mentally he is a mess. He’s just lost his wife. These guys were not amateurs, they were experienced climbers.” Strydom had sought out to prove that she could scale the mountain while on a vegan diet, the Monash University lecturer told the university’s blog. “It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak,” Strydom said. “By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more.”
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating
Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about
Didn't know that. That's super interesting.
