” Accident means two people came together without anyone being at fault.”
I think it really means without intent. Most accidents are caused by people who didn’t mean to do what they did, but they’re still responsible civilly, if not criminally. An act of God would cover something that’s no one’s fault.

This is not an immigration thread; it’s about a man who, whether you agree with his politics or not, is in serious condition.
Can’t you refrain for just ONE SECOND from pounding your one issue?
God knows there are a million threads on here where you can post that stuff.

Im not a Dr. but do bones carry blood? I thought that was the job of arteries and veins. If you've enough trauma to break a femur, the chances that your femoral artery was severed are quite elevated. You'll bleed out in minutes if it's completely severed.

The femur is the largest bone in the body and carries a lot of blood. A broken femur often means death within minutes from blood lossYou're thinking of the femoral artery

Corzine spokesman Anthony Coley said the governor did not appear to have suffered brain or spinal cord damage.How could they tell? He's a democRAT.

a broken femur can cause significant blood loss although death is rare. The bone does not carry a lot of blood, but is in very close proximity to some large (femoral artery and vein) blood vessels that can be lacerated by jagged bone edges.

Oh my. I didn't realize it was quite that serious.
My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Corzine. I wish him a speedy recovery!

But they did not put a cast on his leg or close the wound. For now the leg is wrapped in a bandage because they will have to surgically cleanse the wound to prevent infection from setting in.Sounds like compartment syndrome. Very serious.

Calling John Edwards to the rescue!I sincerely hope that Monty Johnson doesn't own a red pickup. If he does, I'll bet Elizabeth Edwards will pin it on him.

NO....and it makes one wonder why not, other than he never does......what were he and the lady (and I use that term lightly) doing in the back seat without their seatbelts??? Go read the article before making unfounded accusations:
Corzine was sitting in the front passenger seat of the black Chevy Tahoe, alongside his driver, Trooper Robert Rasinski, according to New Jersey State Police Superintendent Rick Fuentes. In the back sat Samantha Gordon, an aide who typically accompanies Corzine when he travels beyond the Statehouse. It was not immediately clear if the governor or the others were wearing seat belts.

Cant you refrain for just ONE SECOND from pounding your one issue?Actually you'll find very few comments by me on immigration issues - I can't even recall any at all other than this thread but I may have forgotten a couple. This is not a particularly important issue to me. Islamofascism is the big one, so your comment about me "pounding on my one issue" is inaccurate and baseless. But as I said in #36 it was my first thought and I don't regret posting it. Seems like I am not the only one to have that thought either.
How are you going to feel if indeed it turns out to be an illegal that caused it, meaning that it was avoidable?
To: Northern Alliance
I’m not interested in how many posts you make; I, along with plenty of other people, are sick and tired of seeing that on every damn thread on this forum.

It's been widely reported here in NJ that the governor rarely -- if ever -- wore a seat belt when he was traveling in his motorcade. So I think it would be a safe bet that he wasn't wearing one yesterday.
Someone also mentioned (maybe here on this thread) that Corzine was known to flip the bird at motorists who didn't move over quickly to make way for his motorcade. If this is true (and it would not be out of character for this moron to do this), then screw him.

I wonder if we'll ever know the truth about Corzine's accident
My daughter was in an accident caused by another driver who blew through a red light. She called to ask us to join her.
The other driver had disappeared from the scene for a while. After 10 or so minutes, 1. the driver, 2. a cop and 3. a "witness" in an SUV (who was barefoot and did not have his license on him) showed up (in that order). The witness said he was behind the other driver and the light was green for them.
The other driver informed us that he was an important businessman in town. He also shook hands with the cop and asked if the cop knew J-- G----. (name deliberately abbreviated),
Funny how the other driver was not held responsible.
Knowing the "right person" can make responsibility for an accident go away. Too bad my daughter didn't have a camera-phone back then.
