maddmaxx ★ Posted February 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2018 If I had been taken from the local ER to the hospital for observation on Monday I would have entered Middlesex Hospital through the ER entrance. Today some asshat drove his car into that entrance loaded with gasoline cans and set himself on fire destroying the front part of the ER. Listen, if you want to kill yourself that's fine with me. Why do asshats have to try to take others with them. He is still alive in the burn unit of another hospital. Police are investigating his house as he has an extensive criminal past but no one knows at this time why he did such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted February 22, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2018 I heard about this on the radio.... My first thought was something like "the doctors failed to save his wife" or something, but maybe I've seen too much TV. Clearly this could have been a lot worse.

During the race riots in the late sixties I ran out of gas at three in the morning. Luckily there was a 24 hour gas station only a mile away, unluckily they were not allowed to sell gas to anyone in a container only pump it directly into your gas tank on your vehicle. After I hung around the gas station for awhile the attendant finally sold me a can of gas and warned me not to go burning down houses with it or he would come and get me. There is more to the story but I already derailed the thread enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, Ralph told me to: I walked back to my car with the can of gasoline. Poured most of it into the gas tank but saved a bit in case I needed to prime the carb. I cranked and cranked and it didn't even fire. I opened the hood and took off the top of the air cleaner and poured some gas directly into the carb. When I tried to start it the carb/air filter/and engine caught fire. I ran around and opened the trunk where I had a pair of coveralls, tried to smother the fire with the coveralls but it kept breaking through. I grabbed a six pack of beer out of the trunk and started popping and pouring on the fire/coveralls. I got the fire out all except the paper air filter element was still smoldering. I grabbed it and threw it to the curb, got in the car and it fired right up. I drove back to the gas station to return the gas can and fill up my tank. When I drove back up the road I saw all these flashing lights about where I had run out of gas. When I got there I saw a firetruck and two police cars and they were squirting a fire extinguisher on my smoldering paper filter. I kept my eyes straight ahead and slowly drove past them while I innocently whistled. There may have been more alcohol involved in this evening than just what I used to put out the fire. 3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cut way down on the amount of time to see a doctor. Which is important if you have a busy modern lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share #15 Posted February 23, 2018 In the cold light of dawn we have the following information, mostly based on a video that the man was making during the crash and fire in which he: The disturbingly graphic video lasts about two minutes and 30 seconds and opens with an apparently naked Ellam driving his car toward the hospital calling out Trump, the Illuminati and several times referring to himself as Jesus Christ. The video opens with Ellam saying “Donald Trump where are you? My name is Jesus Christ. I’m in Middletown, Connecticut.” As he drives toward the hospital Ellam says, “I’ve come to expose you as the anti-Christ, protecting the Illuminati, the one percent.” The above quoted from the Hartford Courant Newspaper. Perhaps he was more in need of a drug rehab center than an ER. Just another whacked out creep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted February 23, 2018 Share #17 Posted February 23, 2018 There was a warehouse that stored full propane cylinders somehow caught fire not too far from my wife’s favorite bike trail. It was a metal building and as the pressure in the cylinders increased from the heat the safety valves on the tanks would leave off gas to prevent them from exploding. The heat was enough to warp and droop the metal building but none of the thousands of cylinders exploded. I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Glasgow airport attack the perp doused himself in petrol, so again the propane tanks were innocent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
