Not really.

Man got ran over by the a snow plough the size of a truck. Suffered a blunt chest trauma and mangled leg. He's in stable but critical condition. In layman's terms, his vitals are stable but not necessarily in good condition. A damage is done that may not be reversible or could worsen at any moment and lead to paralysis or worse... death.

IbrahimMav:


The Snow Cat having a track wheel didn't help.
Read if it wasn't for his Doctor neighbor who applied a tourniquet to his messed up leg, he'd have died in the snow.

This incident reminds me of Anton Yelchin who died in similar circumstance.
Unfortunately for Anton Yelchin, there was no one to help him, so he died alone.
Sad way to cloak.

Kaycee7:
Reading about Yelchin's death, I just hoped he died or at least was unconscious from impact. Cos being pinned between your car and wall, unable to call for help and just waiting for your death by the minute is a thought that fücks with me every time I remember the lad's death.

IbrahimMav:


He died from blunt traumatic asphyxia.
Which is just a fancy way of saying he suffocated painfully and slowly.
Imagine gasping for air but coming up empty because something heavy is crushing into your chest, blocking your air path in the process, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
It's a very painful, torturous and hopeless experience, I would imagine.
It's a horrible way to go.

Kaycee7:
Well, there goes the hopeful part. This is now going to fück with my head even more.

IbrahimMav:


Here is one more tidbit to make you feel worse....
His parents sued the car company for wrongful death and got a substantiate sum out of it.
So basically, he died, his parents cashed out.

Kaycee7:
Well, can't really feel worse about that seeing as he didn't have any apparent problems with his parents. It's cold comfort.

IbrahimMav:


I guess but it kinda does look opportunistic.
Like it's one's fault that the SUV had a mechanical failure,
Suing a car company isn't gonna bring your son back from the dead.
But sure being a few millions richer will make your grief more bearable.

In saner climes where the law actually works, "Wrongful Death claim" is a thing and it's very common. If for anything, it isn't seen as "opportunistic" rather it offers some sort of closure to the deceased family with a monetary claim as a side bonus. I didn't think in this case, if the car company wasn't liable in some way that the parents would have won the case. I have seen a docu where companies review their "wrongful death suites" and use it to correct what went wrong and ultimately improving their services going forward. If the law actually works in this clime, many hospitals would have since been out of business with the suites they will be facing daily.

Kaycee7:
That's definitely the logical outlook. But grieving people are rarely logical. And people who lose someone untimely often look for a target to blame. The parents just lost a young son and are most likely looking for a channel for their anger. They can't fight the car, it's inanimate. Next best target: the people who made the car.

The Steven Spielberg era was pretty tight, infused and close to the source material of Micheal Crichton. They started to lose the plot with the Chris Pratt era and "World Dominion" was the final straw.

Lol, I've already seen it some days ago before New year. I think that was Fandango's list sha, rating over 5000 movie watchers. Barbie was 3rd on the list. So I ain't surprised.
I always see Barbie amongst top conversations for anticipated movies for this year online.

So when ppl on this thread start saying it will flop, it feels weird and funny to me. I just abstained from posting it, cos some ppl go bring agenda come and I no get strength for too much shout after my fair share in the DC thread before Xmas.

Online hype doesn't mean much these days in box office collection, so it's guarded optimism for now.
But if that film by mistake make Bank, I'm sure gonna rub it on everyone's face.

abduleez1:


It's smashing Pu7pl3's 1.7bn sha.
Prolly looking at 1.9 or possibly 2bn.

Baddestguyp:
even you...you're not confident that it will break even...

You know there is a high likelihood it will flop
