A Philadelphia woman was killed by a 30-foot tree branch while jogging through a local park on Wednesday. Eye witnesses say that she was listening to her Ipod and never even heard the branch cracking before it began its 50-foot plummet. The strange thing is, just a few days ago a Manhattan man was was also hit on the head by a 100-pound tree branch while walking through Central Park. This is a blatant warning that we blindly walk into hazards every single day and take for granted the thousands of pounds suspended over our heads that could come crashing down at a moment’s notice.

I’d say this is a lesson on the dangers of iPods. Unplug your ears, idiots! People that die because they didn’t hear something huge happening around them pretty much deserve it.
I’d like to think that this is a good reason why Mother Eath and Technology don’t get along.
You know a man also slammed into a tree by twittering while he was running? At least he wasn’t killed!
A man ran into a low branch while updating Twitter a while back.
…Mother Nature has twisted sense of humor. (:
(Technology is dangerous and I am the biggest hypocrite ever)
I think this may be more a sign of the trees retaliating against land development or something like that. Sorta like the Happening.
The Happening is an amazing movie. I’ve always believed that nature will wipe out man kind before a jewish [portrayed as white] “GOD” will.
I almost got squished by a falling branch in Junior High. Luckily a sudden really odd feeling followed by that creepy tree cracking sound made me stop walking. The branch missed me by maybe a foot or so, but it probably wasn’t big enough to kill me I’m sure it’d have done some good damage.
Does it make me morbid that I think it’s a funny story I get to tell of myself?
weird…. old trees…….. some little creatures can are eat the roots.
or just old trees… have one front of my house that will be fall very soon
and this is not a joke =O
the revenge of the ewoks!!
Am I the only one who was reminded of the trees from Evil Dead I/II..?
Sure, they weren’t walking around/raping people, but they’re still out for blood!
I think the trees are out to get us. I don’t blame them. Stupid humans are demolishing forests everyday. It’s pay back time haha
The trees are after us!
…I now know what will make humans go extinct….
chunk don’t want to hurt enemy chunk want to CRUSH ENEMY!!!!!
so what the tree was saying.
well all i have to say is NATURE JUST PWNED YOU!!!
OUCH!
