Whoops
- Police say a man was killed today when he was hit by a refrigerator thrown from an upper floor of a building in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz says a construction crew was clearing some contents of a building when workers tossed the fridge off a balcony. She says they called out "All clear," but another worker walked out and was killed by the refrigerator.
She says it appears to be a tragic accident.
What a way to go.

"She says they called out "All clear,"

When you throw a fridge out the window your supposed to yell; "Heads up!"
Everyone knows that.
It appears trained monkeys could have accomplished that. STUPID!
Acme Piano Movers?
Beep...Beep...
I saw this in a 3 Stooges short, but it was a safe.
In the film "Only The Lonely" John Candy plays an 009 wagon man and they do the same thing with a heavy stiff.
Almost the same result in both, narrowly missing the person on the sidewalk.
Sounds like the old days in cabrini...
The wife has been bugging me to replace the upstairs cast iron tub with a jacuzzi, what's the name of that construction company?
This is a tragic mishap.
Dropping things from the breezeway onto the police and their vehicles was SOP in the projects, until they enclosed them. They never got around to the Hilliards, they are still open, I believe.
Yeah, but you'll really be holding court in the line to get up to St. Peter. Think about it! "How'd you die"? (cardiac arrest) How's bout you? (Lung Cancer)
And you sir?
We'll let me tell you. . . . . .
Zombie kill of the week?
That's a terrible way to go. Almost happened to my partner and I back in the day in 13. When a refrigerator was tossed out of one of the Henry Horner Buildings. Close call, very close call, never found the asshole who tossed it!
That zombie shit isn't funny, man. You just wait.
Stock up on ammo, sure, but remember reloading takes time. Get yourself a good machete. It never needs reloading and lasts as long as your arm holds out, and my arm can hold out a long time. I have tested it!
Refrigerators, car parts, kitchen sink, bathroom vanity, assorted pissed on furniture, bottles of piss, bags of shit, TV's with the big-ass picture tube (sounds like a bomb) and the occasional stray person came sailing out of the windows or over the rail at some of the high rises we worked. Walking in front of tall buildings still gives us the yips... "HEADS UP!" ranks right up there with "HE'S GOT A GUN!"
Seemingly a tragic and very sad accident...
That was cold.
The construction company was given a citation for not removing the door first.
On my old rural fire department, when doing overhaul, we'd yell out. "Shit flying" That was also before everyone had a cell phone camera.
Sounds like the old days at any CHA building. Dodged one or two myself back in the day.

see the comment posted directly above yours.
Whenever you went in or out of the projects, you had to look up to make sure you weren't squashed by some unknown object being tossed out of one of the many broken windows by one of the many usuals.
A long time ago on the West Side, we were driving down Jackson or Madison or whatever late one night.
We see these two dudes standing on the sidewalk facing eace other with their arms outstreatched looking straight up.
WTF we wonder and pull over. Then we look up as this big ass sofa gets pushed over the balcony wall. The sofa goes crashing to the sidewalk and the two dudes get splattered. My partner and I can hardly talk over our laughter for calling an ambulance as dude number three, I assume the guy who ush the sofa off the balcony come out cussing them for dropping his sofa. He claimed he did all the hard work.
A warrant has been issued for The Roadrunner.

good luck catching him.
wiley.
probably hurt a little more than getting hit with the kitchen sink---
"Back in the day", I was working in 006, near Sabina's (my old grade school), and a toilet went flying out a thrid floor apt.across the street from the convent! Missed our car by maybe a foot! My partner and I both needed a change of underwear. We thought the riots were starting again. Turned out a guy was fixing his in-laws' apt., and after carrying the toilet up 3 flights, he rested it on the railing at the top of the stairs, and--BOOM! At least it was a never been shit in toilet!
Kenmore or Westinghouse? RIP my friend.
Great aim.
