It was certainly tragic that a pole crushed a 6-year-old boy in New Jersey yesterday. But that’s not why the story is making national news. The reason you’re reading about it now is because during a live news report on the accident, a man in the background fell out of a house window. Seriously.
You can see it unfold in the upper left hand corner:
The national CBS news this morning found it quite funny:
If you’re curious, you can watch the report as it aired Thursday night on WCBS-TV:
The boy’s status, and the man’s, is unclear.

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 3:25amActually, Catawissa was the only one who knew what he/she was talking about. It WAS a porch he fell off. The guy who fell off the porch is my uncles girlfriends brother…and hes a drunk, yes. My uncle was the little boys neighbor and he was the person who had to pull the pole off the lil boy. ‘Anonymous’ and ‘Servant’ should grow the hell up and learn to shut their mouths! Very inappropriate, especially considering the boy died.

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 6:19ami feel for the family, and said at this accident claiming a child. with that said noone made an inappropriate comment about the little boy, all comments were geared toward the drunk idiot that fell out the window/porch. lighten up your feelings are showing, get out of your feelings

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 2:45pmI am glad he is OK, but wondering if he was drunk? It was strange, and would be funny, but I guess it hurt quite a bit. People seem to be going nuts.
