Slippery When Icy
Oops:
- A Chicago Park District vehicle slid off an icy bike path near Oak Street beach and plunged into Lake Michigan Friday morning as workers were removing graffiti, officials said.
The crew was working along the bike path at 1000 North Lake Lake Shore around 10:30 a.m. when the vehicle "slid from the iced area into Lake Michigan," according to Park District spokeswoman Jessica Maxey-Faulkner.
No one was in the vehicle and no injuries were reported.
Perhaps a quick lesson in the physics of friction, angled ground and gravity is in order? And a safer place to park heavy vehicles while working.

Please, please, PLEASE tell me that you're really not that fuckin' stupid, 2:01 AM.
Would you jump into shark-infested waters because you were at THAT location to go swimming?
Perhaps reach into a running blender because THAT'S where your wedding ring fell?
Maybe walk onto a CTA third rail to retrieve that hat blew off your head because it landed at THAT location?
I'll bet you park your squad car directly in front of the address of the "Loud Reports/Shots Fired" calls, too.
You. Dumb. Bastard.
Tip to Park Employees----Wait until the ice melts.
No charge for that.
Maybe "HARRY THE HAT" got a part=time job with the City.

REPEAT the original SCC statement (above) in response to your post, especially the last sentence.
You're Welcome.
Okay, I will ask the question, if the ice was so bad why wasn't the path salted?
It was caught on one of the park district POD cameras. It was hysterical how it slipped under the water with its flashing amber light blinking away and the 5 gallon paint buckets floating along the shore.

Perhaps a bit of common sense should have been applied to the process, eh? Was it worth losing thirty thousand dollars' worth of truck?
Not the first time a city vehicle took a dunk in the lake. 018 coppers put a car or two in the lake. Citizens too.
