Undertoad Tuesday Feb 14 07:37 PM2/14/2006: Massive rock crushes car
Well, that's gotta hurt. From the French news item, Un automobiliste est sorti miraculeusement indemne jeudi soir de sa voiture qui venait d'être écrasée par un rocher de plusieurs tonnes tombé de la montagne près de Breil-sur-Roya (Alpes-Maritimes), un éboulement qui a entraîné la suspension des liaisons ferroviaires, a-t-on appris auprès des pompiers vendredi.
In other words, this massive, several-ton rock fell from a mountain in the Maritime Alps. The loss of the rock led to the suspension of the rail links, but somehow the motorist in this vehicle survived unscathed. (I think they're saying the motorist was in the car when the rock hit.)

xoxoxoBruce Tuesday Feb 14 09:16 PMWell, anybody with any sense knows green cars are unlucky. I wonder if it ran a white flag up the antenna before it got hit?
plaguemask Tuesday Feb 14 11:06 PMThat guy is seriously lucky. Or seriously unlucky, depending on how you look at it.
Torrere Tuesday Feb 14 11:59 PMIls bien utilise le mot "miraculeusement".

Translates to :
A car driver miraculously (it this english? anyway I guess it is self explaining ) stepped out unhurt of his car which had just been crashed by a several tons stone falling down from the mountain, close to Breil-sur-Roya (this is close to Nice & the Italian border).
This temporarily blocked the trains traffic, said the firemen on friday
Basically no clue whether the guy was in the car when the big stuff fell down.
Anyway, as previously said, the guy is VERY lucky

LOL Troll inside
Do you really think people support the Hamas in France Well I don't ...
It is the Office National des Forets, so National Forest Office (was this translation really needed). These guys are taking care of forests, and wild places, so basically they have to drive on very small roads / tracks all over the country

Interestingly that is the same shade of green that BC Ministry of Forests trucks are painted.
