THANK YOU....on so many OTHER threads it is very obvious that a large segment of posters don't read anything past the title, if that much, before responding.
I was bothered by the "climbing over" part too, and I'm thinking that it may very well be inaccurate reporting (I know that this may be hard to believe) and that there was in reality only enough room to get an arm through.
Whenever inconsistencies in news stories come up, I often find that the quality of reporting is to blame.
