Re: Jogger killed by falling branch
This is like 5 minutes from me. No idea who she is, but I bike back there & walk my dog there quite often. Terrible tragedy, as it says, wrong place wrong time.
RIP

Jogger killed by falling branch identified
By Max Stendahl
Inquirer Staff Writer
A female jogger who was struck and killed by a large tree branch in Fairmount Park yesterday evening has been identified as 23-year-old Mary Katherine Ladany.
A 2008 gradute of Bucknell Univeristy, Ladany orginally was from Montclair, N.J., but lived in Philadelphia. Friends and family called her Katie.
Police say she was listening to an iPod while jogging and may not have heard the 30-foot-long branch crack and fall.
The iPod was still playing when police arrived, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.
He said the branch fell about 50 feet before hitting the woman round 6:35 p.m. on the Forbidden Drive, a popular gravel trail through Wissahickon Valley Park.
"She was at the wrong place at the wrong time," said Small. ". . . It was a freak accident."
A passer-by called 911 but did not stay until police arrived.
Re: Jogger killed by falling branch
What the fuck? You call 911 but do not stick around until the cops come??? What the shit is that about??
They probably had a warrant out for their arrest, or unpaid traffic tickets.
The person should be thanked for even calling. Most people wouldn't have even bothered, especially someone with warrants.
Unfortunate tragedy. Way too young to die. Chance of that accident happening has to be one in billions.
Re: Jogger killed by falling branch
i wonder what was on her iPod....maybe it was unreleased gnr material
Yeah, the Axl scream was so good, it caused her to lose concentration and even blew the sap out of that tree.
Those clips are too mind blowing for public consumption. Congress should intervene.
