Decidedly Grim

Here in Chicago, people like to cross the street when one direction has cleared, then stand along the line in the middle of the lanes awaiting the other side to clear. I’ve often thought this is unsound survival behavior, to put your fate so fully in the hands of another human being who is probably talking on a cell phone or messing with their iPod in the car. This video illustrates quite well why I do not engage in this behavior, myself.

(Warning: The footage, although not particularly graphic, is quite disturbing to witness.)

Ghastly!
