Today MSGEBC has BREAKING NEWS that a construction worker fell 20 feet off the Statue of Liberty. There have been three urgent updates with no further information.

I wasn't watching TV the day the neighbor fell. Does anyone remember it being reported?

1. No but the worker at the Statue is a nice distraction

from the gutting of the Constitution

4. A friend of ours DIED from a fall off his roof

He was retrieving a frisbee, slipped and landed on a concrete patio.. He died a few hours later..at 37..

Falls from any height can kill you ..it's all about how and what you land on :(

5. I am concerned about Barney, the Bushler family dog.

I wish they would distract us with a story about him too.

7. My brother recently had a leg amputated below the knee after falling from his roof six months ago.

It was shattered beyond repair, though they tried, then it got infected after six months, and they had to amputate. His other leg is still broken and healing.

Please don't anyone try to do anything on your damn roofs without proper equipment and training. Even then, pay a professional. It's worth it.

8. Does your neighbor live in the Statute of Liberty?

That angle is what makes it more newsworthy than falling off of the roof of a house.
