Tennessee to Australia to California: a string of odd accidents
A irregular parade of mishaps spans Brooklyn mothers and babies in Virginia, a Los Angeles worker hit by a block, a Harrisburg boy swallowing a nickel, a Denver man surviving a train near miss, a North Adelaide wind incident, and a Topanga driver scared by a mouse. A Seattle man falls down an air shaft into a chair, with casual reflections on car crashes and a fatal head-on act long ago on Metacom avenue.
