So there you are, sitting at the traffic lights minding your own business, when all of a
Wrecking balls: dangerous when left to their own devices
sudden you hear a huge bang from just behind you (and some screaming from passers by)...
That's the sound of your car being attacked by a 1,500lb wrecking ball. Sounds crazy? Well not for a college student in Meadville, Pennsylvania.
The ball was being used to demolish a college library when its cable snapped and it bounced down Main Street; causing a great panic in the process. Its final resting place was the boot of our student's car.
The sporty student was apparently saved from grievous harm by the eight footballs that were on his back seat. Apparently they lessened the impact.
Miraculously he escaped with only a headache.The moral of the story: start playing football and always look in your rear-view mirror...
