A teenage girl was killed in Queens Sunday afternoon after trying to retrieve a lost item from the subway tracks and being hit by a train.
The girl, identified as 13-year-old Diana Kadribasic of Queens, was killed by an R train when she was on the tracks trying to get her cellphone, police said.
"I was in the front train and we hear this bump," subway rider Stephen Topete said. "You hear everyone jumping and screaming."
During 1971 or 1972 someone was cleaning the floor of the service bays at a Mobil station in Eastchester with gasoline. He stepped on a nail. The wheel alignment machine wound up across Route 22 ina Grand Union parking lot. No word on what happened to the various parts of the attendant.
What about this one; no one died, but in May 1974 I was at one of our area's pioneer self-service gas stations. The two people manning the kiosk were out on the tarmac, hosing each other down with gasoline.
There used to be a show on cable called "1,000 Ways to Die." Lots of Darwin winners there. I could not even imagine some of the ways these people ended up dying.
