The 77 year-old woman fell about 130 ft from a helicopter, after rescue workers failed to secure her safety harness correctly during an evacuation procedure in Iwaki city, about 195 km north east of Tokyo. Video |

she must have mumbled something about "seizing the means of production" or something

Only Pinochet is supposed to do that!
Oppski. Most unfortunate for her. |

I bet the next person in line to be air lifted said ...screw that, I'll take my chances treading water.

First thing I do before starting to put the victim into a full harness is just a tubular webbing girth hitch around their chest and clip them in. I can do it in less than 2 seconds and I’ve got a hasty leash if things go bad quickly.
Obviously I never want to load a girth hitch around their chest because it would suck. Put the full harness (or whatever system you use) in place over the webbing and get on with it. |

That would be horrifying. You're practically inside the helicopter too. Poor lady.

Yikes. That suck to watch.
Well, the investigation should be short. No question as to who’s fault that was. |

You know people used to care about each other and express concern instead of puns when someones grandma fell out of a fucking helicopter.
Maybe GD really does need to be cleaned up. |

We have a lot of spare 70-year-old resources here. View Quote Go into the countryside, and the average age gets OLD very quickly. I was behind a line of 3 cars the other day with the Yotsuba sticker. ETA: The "Yotsuba decal" is required by law to be placed on a vehicle operated by a person age 75 and older. |

I saw the title and thought that would be a good Pinochet joke, then I realized that would be an asshole thing to say.
