It wasn't me
Motorcyclist killed after losing control, falling off Ship Channel Bridge in east Houston
Wow, this must have sucked. Any of you familiar with the Ship Channel bridge knows this thing is HIGH. And the story says he fell from the top.

It's not the fall that kills you.
It's the sudden stop. We're glad it wasn't you, Neal.  Would your putt putt even pull that bridge?

That is highly unfortunate.
 That bridge looks to be at least a 100' drop. Do they know the cause? I'm just curious because I've investgated or witnessed a number of MC accidents and, in almost every case, it wasn't the motorcyclist's fault. I have found that bikers are usually much safer drivers than vehicle motorists.Glad to hear it wasn't you.

I've seen two bikers killed. Worse was they had concrete carriers working on highway right up to the line. The biker was in right lane, big rig in left. Truck came over, biker had no where to go. .....
Be careful on those things. We had a Sr. in high school here last year doing tricks on his, wrecked and died. Real nice kid, just acting stupid and paid for it.

We're glad it wasn't you Neal. Do you often cross that bridge? Bet it gets pretty windy up at the top.

Even if it was you, you need to tell me the secret of posthumous posting.
If you see Jim Morrison, say Hi; big fan.
