Is this supposed to be a tasteless joke? Yes. It is absolutely a tasteless joke. My apologies to all that I’ve offended 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Many prayers... The Sun Sentinel reported that Norton, 22, had to have his left arm amputated at the scene of the multiple-car accident to extricate him from the truck. Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Alex Camacho says the Ford F250 Norton was driving crashed into a concrete barrier and overturned early Thursday on State Road 836 near Miami. The Miami Herald reported that, according to a family friend, Norton's truck was cut off and wound up flipping as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boca BIlls Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Hope it wasn't his drinking arm. (In a few days no one will care one bit about this story. So those people who are righteous right now will be back to forgetting bad stuff happens all the time. Get angry at what I say now but you will forget and make a joke in the same manner b.c in the end if we felt bad over every single thing that happened to every human in the world, this world would commit suicide.)

aristocrat Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Poor guy I hope they took the arm with them for possible reattaching but if they did it at the scene I’d think that’s unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely possible. There was a kid in Iowa iirc, cut both his arms off above the elbow on a piece of farm equipment. He was alone, so he ran to the house and somehow called 911 with is face, this was before cell phones. They reattached both arms. I don't think he has much usage of them, but he has his arms. Found the story, it was North Dakota not Iowa: https://people.com/archive/too-tough-to-die-vol-37-no-4/ Edited July 4, 2019 by MacGyver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they’ve reattached fingers and hands but presume that needs to happen immediately after the accident. What a a terrible story.
