BringBackFergy Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 One of the funnier things I've seen in awhile. Not sure what's funnier: the fact that a 74 yr old woman was spinning around that fast or the comments by the newscasters trying to act professional. I wouldn't have been able to report that without chuckling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cripple Creek Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It’s nice how all y’all take enjoyment from the misfortune of the elderly. If y’all are lucky enough to reach a ripe old age I hope for nothing but the best for you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Yeah what do they do to stop it. Can't touch her down, basket to ground. Holy Moly! Pull the winch up. The longer the lead, the faster the spin, right? It seemed to go faster when the pilot thought about touching the basket down... Then it must have dawned on them: "Noooo! Bad idea!" I don't care WTF @Cripple Creek says... People laugh @ the misfortune of others because they are really thinking: "***** that's funny, glad it isn't me!"

Buffalo_Gal Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Funny!? Some people have a very strange sense of humor. I'd have asphyxiated on my barf. That looked awful. The poor woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
