This is breaking. A high speed chase around Sierra Vista and on to Ft. Huachuca has resulted in 7 deaths and 14 injuries.
A stolen car with 5 people inside led police on a high speed chase along the Highway 90 bypass and on to Ft. Huachuca at speeds in excess of 100MPH.
The stolen vehicle hit new barricades at the East Gate Checkpoint and crossed over the median, striking an outbound vehicle.
4 people in the stolen car have died, and 3 other people are also dead. 14 people are injured.
There are no further details regarding the 3 dead or the injured. As the story develops, I will try to post more.
Well, hopefully it'll go over better than Operation Moped--that was one of our less successful enterprises.
Yes, that was pretty uninspired..
..but we did sucker some people into buying them.
True--as long as we took over at least one mind, I consider it a successful operation, in keeping with our motto: "Taking over the world, one customer at a time."
Yup. I remember that, more brutally slaughtered American's at the hands of illegal aliens.
Excellent.
(Saw some classic mopeds a week ago.. ahhh.. the nostalgia!)
LOL! I think I come across a moped somewhere about an average of once every ten years :) When were they "in", anyway?
*scratches head*
They were big in a few areas I lived in back in the 80's, and made a short lived revival in the 90's with nostalgic hippy types..
I remember in the 70s they were kind of past their peak already. I think I noticed the revival you mention. Hmmm--maybe they *are* just nostalgiac and they never were actually in style.
Kinda like Parachute Pants 'coming back' and people going "I remember these!"
I tried to stage an 8-track comeback once but it didn't work very well. . .
Beta players too..
LOL! I actually know one person who bought a Beta player when they came out and still uses it because everything he's got taped is on Beta. I'm just glad when we were kids my brother and I were able to talk our Dad out of investing in a Beta lifetime membership at the video store. . .
I know this happened in our universe, and probably in the United States.
But
Might it be too much to expect the state to be listed? This isn't Aunt Margie's family newsletter any more.

Also an FR Post. Joe, I think I saw you on this thread...

The two local victims: "James Lee, 74, and Emilia Lee, 71, of Huachuca City, were killed when the pickup hit their vehicle."
May God Bless their souls, and provide comfort to their family.
And is being driven around by some son or daughter of some police chief or something similar.
It depends --- some of these highways are pretty desolate and going very fast is the norm not the exception. The other thing --- if someone crashes through the pretty much non-existent border going over 100 mph heading for the nearest military base --- it probably isn't a good idea just to let them be. Not with the War against Terrorism going on and after 9-11.
Thanks for removing my duplicate at #236
